Fair enough about kingship being no reward (... although I'll observe that that sure doesn't stop people from seeking it? So **some** people must want it). But yeah, neither of us has any knowledge at all about Scandinavian history, so this is enlightening! Now that you've piqued my curiosity, I'll have to go look up the Kalmar Union.

PS Oh and by "us" I meant me and the healing angel! Obviously you **do** have knowledge ;-)
