The only thing stopping me from reading all of Karl's correspondence is my lack of Swedish knowledge, but I do have the links that I've saved for over a year. So here is a collection of every single letter Karl XII has ever written to anyone ever, his family, nobles, military officers, anything.

Karl XII and Maximilian AU

Part 1

There was a prompt I read, but I think it was deleted. It stated a scenerio that What if Max had not been captured in Poltava, but had to witness his king was blown up by a canon?

The scene was so shock that Max fainted. When he woke up, his mind was messed up. All his memories stopped at the point when he was 14, the first year he spent with his king. He was like a child again, kept asking for Karl but others generals and nobleman felt bad for him that they didn't dare to tell him the truth. And also, they could not identify which were the king body parts since there were some soldier died with their bodies ripped by canon and fireballs.

Max, the little prince was sent home with his mother, the Duchess. They lied to him that the king sent him home due to his young age. But Max didn't believe that. He still had a faith in mind that he would have to return to his king one day.

In the eyes of the servants, Max was a madman with a mind of a child. The Duchess felt stressful with Max situation. Sometimes he was nice, but sometimes he got bad-tempered and demand to see his king. But, as a mother, all she can do was giving him all the love she had and be calm.

Kungen tycks ta det där med att vara Guds utvalde på allvar. Det är som att han bara tar emot råd från Herren själv, och inte lyssnar på någon av de levande människor som finns omkring honom.

Honestly, Voltaire’s book about Karl XII is actually the best source I’ve ever read on the Great Northern war, excluding the fronts where Karl wasn’t present, of course. Like Voltaire just rang up actual witnesses of the war to interview. Bro didn’t have much bias on this topic either unlike some other topics where he is not to be trusted at all. Honestly a really good book, would recommend. You can find it easily and read it for free on the Internet archive or even Google books.

Karl XII:s fullständiga titel på svenska löd:
