What was the result of his attempted reconquest of Sweden?

  • Victory and annexation of Sweden

  • Defeat by the Swedish regent Sten Sture the Elder

  • An agreed peaceful separation

  • A successful reestablishment of the union

Answer

In 1497, Christian II launched a campaign to retake the Swedish throne, which had been seized by Sten Sture the Elder in 1471. However, the campaign was a disaster for Christian II, who was defeated by the Swedish regent at the Battle of Brunkeberg. This defeat effectively ended Christian II's hopes of regaining control of Sweden.
