Yep, heard of him. Also heard of Gustav Adolphus. Who died a heroic death in battle, unlike Karl. IIRC, the latter ended in some backwater by the Black Sea :rolleyes:

Karl the 12th has always been a favorite of mine when it comes to history and warfare. Talk about a great army. It's a shame this part of history is not well known outside Scadinavia and for people interested in Russian history.
