<p>[QUOTE=&quot;talerman, post: 3232537, member: 89314&quot;]1568&nbsp;&nbsp; Another 4 Mark Klippe from Sweden but this one issued jointly by Dukes Johan and Karl in the short interregnum after the deposition of their half-brother, King Erik XIV, on grounds of insanity, in September 1568.&nbsp; (He would die in captivity in 1577, probably poisoned with arsenic mixed in his pea soup). All three were the sons of Gustav Vasa.&nbsp; Johan had the title of Duke of Finland and Karl Duke of Sudermannia. In January 1569, Johan was recognized as king by the same riksdag that had forced Erik off the throne. Karl would succeed him as King Karl XII in 1592.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]844486[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]844487[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
