who had worked with King Gustav, Carl's father, on overglorifying Swedish history. Carl had been preceded by only two real namesakes and should have been Carl III, but chose to keep the five fakes (Carls III-VIII) in the story and in the numbering system. Carl IX had been married to a princess of the Wittelsbach dynasty, Maria, before he was king and when she died, remarried an Oldenburg princess, who became his Queen Christina and the famous mother of Gustav Adolph. Carl's immediate family chose Strängnäs Cathedral as their place of interment, in the heart of their Sudermanian duchy. With his mistress Catherine (Karin) Nilsdotter, King Carl also had an extramarital son.
