Also known as The Lion of the North.

Contemporary source describing his traits (my translation):

”His Majesty was of tall stature, his body proportionally built, his face of fair complexion and rather great length, blond haired and sported a pointy beard, somewhat yellow in tone.”

It is the best surviving image representing him.

Far from all Swedes are pred. Nordid. Besides, he was half German, as his mother was a daughter of the Duke of Holstein-Gottorp, and she was in turn half Hessian.

Baltids, Borrebies, Faelids and so on are not Nordids. Not in anyone else's terminology.

Nonetheless, here is a Strandid (Alpinoid) Swede:
