I think perhaps the fault lay in failing to ally with Denmark in the Thirty Years War. Poland could have been pacified and Christina wouldn’t have had to die as a nun.

There were a number of wealthy families who functionally allied with Denmark and got back into the game in Finland through that connection.

Some of them made it to Alaska ~ then California ~ and unaccountably failed to find the gold (which even the Spanish failed to find).
