| Summary |
"Eerik XIV ja Juhana III: I. Veljesviha" by Louise Stjernström is a historical romantic portrayal written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds in the context of the 16th century, focusing on the tumultuous relationship between the two royal brothers, Eerik XIV and Juhana III, against the backdrop of their familial and political intrigues. The story likely examines themes of power, loyalty, and rivalry within the Swedish monarchy, offering readers a glimpse into the complexities of their sibling bond. At the start of the book, the excitement and chaos surrounding the coronation of King Eerik XIV in Uppsala are vividly depicted, with large crowds gathering to witness the spectacle. The narrative follows a humble family of a guard, who, along with his wife and children, navigates through the bustling streets, expresses anxiety over the safety of their daughter amidst the crowd, and yearns for home. They encounter Simon, a goldsmith who leads them to a hidden garden belonging to the king, where they delight in a feast provided by Simon. As the revelry unfolds, it hints at broader plots and the ominous atmosphere lurking within the royal court, setting the stage for the political and personal tensions to come.
