Question

A king from this dynasty who compiled liturgical reforms into the Red Book was the target of the Mornay Plot, a never-executed conspiracy to murder him during a Scottish sword dance. Another ruler from this house installed an unpopular governor who was deposed in a peasant rebellion called the Cudgel War. That Catholic dual monarch from this dynasty was deposed by his Protestant uncle, Duke Charles, who had won the Battle of (*) Stångebro (“STONE”-ge-broh). A later ruler from this dynasty abdicated the throne in 1654, converted to Catholicism, (10[1])and settled into Rome’s Palazzo Farnese. A king of Poland from this house, who captured Smolensk from Russia in the Time of Troubles, was named Sigismund III. For 10 points, name this dynasty (10[1])to which Queen Christina belonged, the ruling house of early modern Sweden. ■END■
