Karin Månsdotter
Karin, not of noble birth, marries the mentally ill Erik XIV and becomes queen. His adviser Göran Persson seeks a royal policy backed by the people, yet Erik swings between provocation and weakness toward the nobility. Göran has powerful noblemen killed; Erik bungles their treason trial, but Göran convenes another parliament to convict them. Erik apologizes for the unjust murders, is dethroned and imprisoned, and Göran is executed. Karin is confined to a castle in Finland, while Erik, believing he is still king, gives guards gifts like all the fish in the Baltic Sea.
