The Great Reduction
The noble classes should be working to support the ruler, but Country Adjective Nobility are only concerned with elevating themselves and amassing more and more power. Left unchecked, their constant jockeying and dirty-dealing over gold and clout could tear the entire Flavor Rank apart.
The time has come to remind them that only God Name decides who the ruler of Country is, and that that individual is the first and only true lord of this land. We shall assert our authority so thoroughly that this never-ending power struggle between the Crown and the Nobility is finally laid to rest once and for all!

1049historical_info = flavor_swe.20.historical_info The Swedish kings of the 16th and 17th centuries alternated between acceptance and dislike of the nobility. In Gustav Vasa's time, there was little difference between a rich farmer and a nobleman, but the situation changed towards the end of his life. Erik XIV kept the nobles on a short leash, whereas his brother John wanted to expand their privileges. The third brother, who was to become Charles IX, hated the nobility with an almost revolutionary fervor and surrounded himself with men of the lower classes, toying with ideas that were unheard of in his time. Under Gustavus Adolphus and Axel Oxenstierna, the pendulum swung the other way and the nobles gained both land and power. This tendency came to an abrupt end with Charles XI who, after the humiliating defeat of Sweden in 1679, commenced a policy of wide scale reductions of the lands and powers of the nobility and also abolished the special privileges of the Baltic lords.
