关于这一集
After a whole series of the Kalmar Union being torn apart, tonight the lads tell how it was BUILT — by a woman. Queen Margaret I welds three crowns into one. Meanwhile the Luleå police have flagged the mast that still won't stop interfering with their radio, and Bengt — Brenda's policeman — comes to quietly warn the boys that a technician is on the way. Brenda plans the Sunday lamb roast, blissfully unaware of any of it.
Tonight's history (all true):
- Married off to the King of Norway at ten. Her father, her husband and her little son all die — so Margaret picks up Denmark and Norway herself.
- - In 1389 at Falköping she batters King Albert of Mecklenburg and takes him prisoner — and now she has Sweden too.
- - In 1397, at Kalmar, she welds the three kingdoms into one and crowns her great-nephew Erik of Pomerania — the very Erik whose bailiffs Engelbrekt would rise against forty years later. She ruled the lot as the "Lady King" until her death in 1412.
...with two original punk tracks: "Three Crowns" and "Lady King".

Charles XII: the teenage warrior king who couldn't lose — until he lost everything. Gaz and Degsy tell it, and Degsy's mam Brenda is still here, mothering the memory of a 36-year-old who never came home.
Tonight's history (all true):
Narva, 1700 — the fifteen-year-old king routs a Russian army o...
Brenda's out shopping in Kiruna, so the lads are unsupervised — which is exactly when Konstapel Johansson drives up from Luleå to find out what's wrong with the radio mast and who cut the fence. Deeply uncomfortable in English, he stands no chance against Gaz and Degsy, who blag that they're "dit...
Brenda comes back from shopping glowing. She stopped at a gatukök for a Swedish hot dog — a varmkorv — and met a lovely, shy Swedish policeman. She felt a bit wild, so she's invited him to dinner in the cabin tomorrow. The lads slowly realise, with mounting horror, that Mam's new gentleman is Joh...
Degsy's mam, Brenda Higginbottom, has somehow reached the Arctic on mother's instinct — and she is NOT impressed. As Gaz and Degsy try to broadcast the story of the Swedish Vikings who went east, Brenda barges in with a fry-up and no respect whatsoever for live radio.
Tonight's history (all true,...
Johansson comes to dinner. Brenda's made her famous hotpot, Degsy's hidden the mixing desk under a blanket, and Gaz tells the worst dinner-party story in Swedish history: Stockholm, November 1520 — a king throws a three-day coronation feast, locks the doors, and executes eighty-two of his guests....
