31. Erik of Pomerania (XIII)

Erik was the result of a wide search to find an heir for Margareta, following the death of her son Olof. He's been taking on ruler-responsibilities whilst his foster mother was still alive, but now he's on the throne for real. Will he be able to follow in Margareta's footsteps and keep the kingdoms of the Kalmar Union together, or will the independent minded Swedes eventually tire of his constant warfare along Denmark's southern border? Get settled for a jampacked, and quite long episode about a ruler whose life has peaks and troughs like few others.
