History
Middle Ages
During the Viking Age, a group of proto-Assassins were present during the reign of King Eric the Victorious. Torgny the Lawspeaker, the old advisor to Eric and Mentor of the brotherhood, fought with his student Thorvald Hjaltason against Styrbjörn the Strong, who was influenced by proto-Templars.[1]
Early modern period
In 1738, the Swedish Assassins started using the Swedish Levant Company as a cover for their operations. The Swedish Assassins were approached by the Colonial Brotherhood to construct the Aquila in 1748, but were unable to do so due to the increasing Templar activity in the shipyards of Stockholm.[2]
In 1818, Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte became King of Sweden under the title Charles XIV through his adoption by King Charles XIII of Sweden.[3]
