Fun fact: the Argentinian soccer team Boca Juniors (very famous in the soccer/football world) is blue and yellow because of the Swedish flag. the history says that around 1907 the team owners were discussing what colors to use, they came to an agreement to use the ones in the flag of the first ship that would come to the buenos aires port, that ship came from Sweden :)

6:36 a small correction; Småland translates to Small Lands because historically the region had many small "countries" or earldoms. Interesting fact! During the Swedish Liberation War of Gustav Vasa, a farmer by the name of Nils Dacke started an uprising against the later king of Sweden because of high taxes on farmers and seizing of precious metals and gemstones from the catholic churches by the protestant central power. The province during this time called itself Dackeland (after the leader of the rebellion) and could have become an independent country if things had gone a little different. The king Gustav Vasa is reported to have said about Nils Dacke that he was "worse than a heathen and a jew", and his decapitated head is supposed to have been stuck on a pole and displayed in Dackes home village (although this is disputed, as some claim he fled Sweden for Brandenburg where he supposedly had relatives). Great episode as always Barbs!

The law just means that if you clear fell a tract of forest you have to make sure it's replanted or is allowed to regrow naturally (if you don't get enough natural regrowth, you have to plant or sow new trees there). Erik just cuts down a few trees on a small scale, so that law would not apply. But he's definitely a cool guy, and seems conscientious.

What I was taught about the Three Crowns. Is..The King of Sweden is also King of Svealand, Götaland and Norrland. Hence the three crowns.
