Håkan the Red was a true Viking style leader, coming to the forefront after the chaos of Erik and Erik. But what's his connection to U11 (which may or may not be a German submarine) and does he have what it takes to claim The Three Crowns?

Kingdom: Swedish Rulers - 4. Stenkil

Local legend Stenkil was a good archer and apparently quite pious. But that probably won't win him The Three Crowns on its own, so does this king with quite a cool name do anything else worthy of taking home the main prize?

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?
