A proposito di questo titolo

Fresh from the Stockholm Bloodbath, Gustav Vasa fled into the forests of Dalarna, hunted by Danish soldiers. This episode traces his extraordinary journey from teenage fugitive to becoming the founding father of modern Sweden. We follow his desperate winter escape through the snowy wastes, his recruitment of Dalecarlian miners and farmers, his seizure of the copper and silver mines that bankrolled his rebellion, and the climactic siege of Stockholm. We explore how he broke the Kalmar Union forever, confiscated Church lands, and built a centralized tax state. Along the way we encounter the young Gustav's narrow escapes, his aunt's betrayal, and the Lutheran Reformation he used to crush Catholic bishops. This is the story of how a hunted man became king — and remade a nation.
