King Charles X of Sweden

The Northern Wars (1655-1661) is a name sometimes used for the series of conflicts between Sweden and its adversaries Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (The Deluge, 1655-1660), Russia (1656-1661), Brandenburg-Prussia (1657-1660), the Holy Roman Empire (1657-60) and Denmark (1657-1658, 1658-1660). The same wars are sometimes referred differently in other countries: for example in Poland The Deluge sometimes is a name for the series of war against Sweden, Brandenburg, Russia, Siebenbürgen and Cossacks.
