Sven Tuuva the Hero
Kustaa
For six hundred years Sweden had controlled most of Finland until the war with Russia that ended in 1809, when Finland became a Grand Duchy of the Russian Czar.

Sven is a decent yet not too brilliant soldier, and his exploits are partly balanced here by the charms of a compatriot.
