Kingdom: Swedish Rulers

How many points do you get for a weird nickname and how many points do you lose for being conned by a fake archbishop? Listen as we review and judge the reign of Olof Skötkonung's other son, Emund.

Following in the footsteps of your father, who also happens to be the first king of Sweden can’t be easy. Anund certainly has his job cut out for him, but he has learnt a few lessons from his dad Olof Skötkonung that he puts to good use. Will it be enough for him to walk away with The Three Crowns?

It is time to judge our first ever ruler, the first king of Sweden, Olof Skötkonung! We cover the life of this interesting character who straddled eras, as we enter a country in the dying days of the Viking period. Will Olof do enough to win the coveted Kingdöm prize of The Three Crowns, or is his life story a bit of a bore?
