Herman's History
Season 5
Herman Lindqvist (well-known Swedish author of popular historical books of nonfiction and causeries of his life in Paris and elsewhere in the world) tells the story of a person or event in Swedish history. He does it dramatically and keenly; his programs are not your average history lesson, but almost as exciting an adventure as if it had been a film with real acting. Herman Lindqvist has been accused of getting many details wrong in his history television programs as well as in his books, and unfortunately, he does.

- Karl X GustavE2
Karl X Gustav1622-1660. Karl X Gustav efterträdde sin kusin drottning Kristina, efter att hon abdikerat år 1654. Han kom att bli en imposant fältherre, som i stort sett förde krig mot Danmark och Polen under hela sin regeringstid. Mest känd blev han för den berömda svenska framryckningen över isen mellan Stora och Lilla Bält år 1658 - en våghalsig militär operation, som i förlängningen ledde till att Halland, Skåne, Blekinge och Bohuslän blev svenskt vid freden i Roskilde samma år. - Hedvig TaubeE4
Hedvig TaubeHerman Lindquist tells the story of Hedvig Taube (1714-1744), who at the age of just 16 became the royal mistress of Frederick I. She was made a mistress with elegant floors and great courtship, a Swedish counterpart to the royal mistresses in Versailles. During this time, among other things, the great Daldansen breaks out, when rebellious valley men march towards Stockholm.
