[29] Tobias Jöran Erland Erik John, Kung av Sverige (blonde hair, hazel eyes)
[23] Catharina Beatrice, Drottning av Sverige (white hair, blue eyes)
On succeeding to the throne after the death of his well-liked father, Tobias knew it would be prudent to take a wife, and thus he married the refined and elegant Grevinna Cajsa. Though Tobias is a sullen young man, a little rash and prone to strops, the people thoroughly support him due to their gratitude for the progressive reforms enacted by his father. There have been some rebels who suggest that the throne should have been taken by his elder sister Josefine, but most of these rabble-rousers have been caught and killed.

Cajsa was shocked and distraught when she found out that her husband had impregnated a common lady-of-the-night. However, in her true fashion, she put her own feelings behind her and pretended to the public that she had birthed the child herself. She is trying her best to love little Lova as though she were her own.

Sweden has been successful in a war against Castile! Tobias is now incredibly popular with the people, although he isn't so well-liked by the long-suffering Cajsa, who is sick of his indiscretions. She attempts to bond with little Lova, but the latter is demanding and bratty.

After discovering that Tobias had been unfaithful to her again, Cajsa threatened to leave the royal family and join a nunnery, but Tobias thunderously forbade it on pain of her life. Little Lova says nothing, but she sees everything and is glad that Cajsa is staying.

Another little girl was born this year, much to Tobias' chagrin. Klara is the picture of her mother and a very quiet little baby. Cajsa dotes on her, as she does by now on all of her children - especially darling Lova, who is a very clever young woman despite her temper tantrums.

Given that Cajsa is coming to the end of child-bearing age, the kingdom was relieved when she became pregnant again, but distraught when the child was born yet another girl. Tobias accuses Cajsa of witchcraft, believing she is deliberately trying to undermine him. Cajsa begins to wonder if little Viktoria, prim and proper, will inherit the throne. She confides her troubles in Lova, who still does not know about her true parentage.

A famine has struck Sweden and Tobias' popularity has fallen. On examining Cajsa, the royal physician declared that the likelihood of her bearing another child was slim. The poor Drottning has overheard her husband considering sending her to a nunnery or executing her for witchcraft so that he can marry a younger woman who may provide an heir.

This year, Lova left for Russia, where she will become Kristina Tevyevna, Tsarevna Russki. The quick-witted and clever young woman is not at all pleased about this, and neither is her beloved step-mother, but Tobias will hear no argument, and Lova is gone. Her sisters miss her terribly.

Lova's father-in-law has passed away, leaving her husband to succeed to the throne. The new Tsarina isn't particularly bothered - all she knows is that she is unhappy and misses her family. Tobias and Cajsa send their condolences and congratulations.

Viktoria has received a marriage offer! As the Tsarina Kristina's brother-in-law, Tsarevich Osip Ilyich, will not be inheriting the throne, and Viktoria will be, it has been decided that, in breach of general customs, the Tsarevich will travel to Sweden to become Kung and take on a Swedish name, rather than Viktoria going to Russia.

Tobias and Cajsa were both relieved when Virginia received a royal marriage offer - the second twin is strong-willed, quirky and somewhat unfeminine. However, for the Principe Gaspare Giancarlo Venceslao Aroldo di Venezia, her rank apparently made this a non-issue.

Despite his age, Tobias is still apparently well enough to continue betraying his long-suffering wife. Prudish Viktoria and naïve, ultra-feminine Klara don't like to touch on the topic, and though Diana has much in common with her mother she is too young to understand the issue. Luckily, Cajsa is able to find a confidante in her gentle and sensitive new son-in-law.

Klara is very unhappy still not to have received a marriage offer - Tobias has made it clear that if this is yet the case by next year, they will have to begin looking for a husband for her among the lower ranks of Swedish court. The slightly prissy Klara sees this as incredibly embarrassing. In happier news, Viktoria has welcomed a daughter this year. Her parents are both simply happy that she is healthy, but Tobias is irritated that the child is a girl; he continues with his paranoia that Cajsa has cursed the family to only bear daughters.

Unfortunately, Hedda passed away this year, having contracted an infection from an injury sustained in a riding accident with Viktoria. The latter is very unhappy, but is attempting to keep a composed demeanour, as she has always been taught to do. She is focussing herself on the reupholstering of the palace.

Klara was very unhappy to be married this year to the nervous Hertig Svante Thorvald Sigurd. Tobias is continuing his work on the strengthening of the secret police, hoping to get as much done as possible before the more liberal Josef takes over - he knows that Viktoria has fairly conservative views, but she applies these to herself and would be unlikely to try and influence her husband as she believes women should stay quiet.

Tobias was delighted when Viktoria gave birth to twin boys. He has not, however, apologized to Cajsa for his accusations of witchcraft, which have now clearly been proven incorrect. Many in court have wondered if it is a subtle dig at the Kung (much in keeping with Viktoria and Josef's mild manners) that it is the child who will not inherit the throne that bears his grandfather's name.

Diana has discovered an interest in music, and has begun to play the violin for the amusement of little Yvonne and Helen, who always cling to their dear "Tanta Danta". It was this that led her to bond with the young Greve Johan Sigmund Magnus, a pianist who often plays at court. The two were soon married and have travelled to Vienna together to begin a new life. Yvonne and Helen, not to mention Viktoria, will miss Diana, but they are glad she is happy. Now the long-suffering Viktoria and Josef are left with no constant adult company but their insufferable father.

Tobias having suffered from an episode of weak health, it was Viktoria who went to placate the angry peasants gathering around the palace. Luckily, her calm and formal demeanour served her well. She had hoped her husband would join her, but the Furste Josef is still painfully shy.

Tobias passed away this year. Viktoria felt a small pang in her chest, but it was more made up of guilt at her relief than anything else. Viktoria and Josef will govern together as equals - unprecedented in Swedish history - due to the conflicting factors of gender and nationality. However, when the Furste Salomon takes the throne, he will be the sole leader, regardless of his marital situation. The people are slightly wary of this very progressive decision, but the royal family is still overall very popular. Behind closed doors, Viktoria became pregnant again this year, but unfortunately miscarried.

On succeeding to the throne after the death of his well-liked father, Tobias knew it would be prudent to take a wife, and thus he married the refined and elegant Grevinna Cajsa. Though Tobias is a sullen young man, a little rash and prone to strops, the people thoroughly support him due to their gratitude for the progressive reforms enacted by his father. There have been some rebels who suggest that the throne should have been taken by his elder sister Josefine, but most of these rabble-rousers have been caught and killed.

Klara is very unhappy still not to have received a marriage offer - Tobias has made it clear that if this is yet the case by next year, they will have to begin looking for a husband for her among the lower ranks of Swedish court. The slightly prissy Klara sees this as incredibly embarrassing. In happier news, Viktoria has welcomed a daughter this year. Her parents are both simply happy that she is healthy, but Tobias is irritated that the child is a girl; he continues with his paranoia that Cajsa has cursed the family to only bear daughters.

Unfortunately, Hedda passed away this year, having contracted an infection from an injury sustained in a riding accident with Viktoria. The latter is very unhappy, but is attempting to keep a composed demeanour, as she has always been taught to do. She is focussing herself on the reupholstering of the palace.

Klara was very unhappy to be married this year to the nervous Hertig Svante Thorvald Sigurd. Tobias is continuing his work on the strengthening of the secret police, hoping to get as much done as possible before the more liberal Josef takes over - he knows that Viktoria has fairly conservative views, but she applies these to herself and would be unlikely to try and influence her husband as she believes women should stay quiet.

Tobias was delighted when Viktoria gave birth to twin boys. He has not, however, apologized to Cajsa for his accusations of witchcraft, which have now clearly been proven incorrect. Many in court have wondered if it is a subtle dig at the Kung (much in keeping with Viktoria and Josef's mild manners) that it is the child who will not inherit the throne that bears his grandfather's name.

Diana has discovered an interest in music, and has begun to play the violin for the amusement of little Yvonne and Helen, who always cling to their dear "Tanta Danta". It was this that led her to bond with the young Greve Johan Sigmund Magnus, a pianist who often plays at court. The two were soon married and have travelled to Vienna together to begin a new life. Yvonne and Helen, not to mention Viktoria, will miss Diana, but they are glad she is happy. Now the long-suffering Viktoria and Josef are left with no constant adult company but their insufferable father.

Tobias having suffered from an episode of weak health, it was Viktoria who went to placate the angry peasants gathering around the palace. Luckily, her calm and formal demeanour served her well. She had hoped her husband would join her, but the Furste Josef is still painfully shy.

Tobias passed away this year. Viktoria felt a small pang in her chest, but it was more made up of guilt at her relief than anything else. Viktoria and Josef will govern together as equals - unprecedented in Swedish history - due to the conflicting factors of gender and nationality. However, when the Furste Salomon takes the throne, he will be the sole leader, regardless of his marital situation. The people are slightly wary of this very progressive decision, but the royal family is still overall very popular. Behind closed doors, Viktoria became pregnant again this year, but unfortunately miscarried.

The Latvian Karaliene, Jolanta, has recently given birth to a daughter, Princese Valda Sofija Jolanta Margarita.

She has come to the court, and though she is not taking on a full Swedish name as she will hopefully be able to return to her homeland one day, the people of Sweden have affectionately nicknamed her Sonia av Lettland. Josef does not know that his ever-efficient mother had been communicating with the Latvian royalty for years, making arrangements for exchange of wards if either of the two vulnerable, pacifistic nations were to come under threat. Josef thinks Sonia is sweet, but has been spending most of his recent time with his advisors, as next year he will begin to make his own governing decisions.
