Charles IX, King of Sweden - Sigismund abdicates
02/24/1604 AD abdicated
The Riksdag declares that Sigismund abdicated the Swedish throne, NS that duke Charles Is recognized as the sovereign.
He Is declared king as Karl IX (anglicized as Charles IX)..
Charles's short reign was one of uninterrupted warfare. The hostility of Poland and the breakup of Russia involved him in overseas contests for the possession of Livonia and Ingria, the Polish–Swedish War (1600–1611) and the Ingrian War, while his pretensions to claim Lappland brought upon him a war with Denmark in the last year of his reign.
In all these struggles, he was more or less unsuccessful, owing partly to the fact that he and his forces had to oppose superior generals (e.g. Jan Karol Chodkiewicz and Christian IV of Denmark) and partly to sheer ill-luck.
