Paramountcy ain't necessarily the political azimuth !
Alas; poor Robespierre couldn't handle his suicide pistol very well and went to the slightly the worse for wear- considering his instigation of the Terror: "what goes around...occasionally comes down on ya!" The Third Maratha War proved what the British knew by that time and provided an excellent training ground for the young Arthur Wellesley.

June 6th, 1523 (Julian), Gustav Wasa is proclaimed new king of Sweden, which starts the end of the Danish led Kalmar Union. Partly because of this, this day is the National Day of Sweden.
Also, this happened some time later: God Bless.
