This English version of the song “Livgardet”, by the same artist, Sabaton, tells the tale of The Swedish Life Guard. Created in 1521 under the rule of Gustav Vasa, the Livgardet have served under the Swedish King, risking their lives for his crown, from then to today. The music video released by Sabaton for this version of the song relives the Skirmish at Bender, fought between Sweden, under Charles XII and the Ottoman Empire, under Jahandar Shah, in the town of Bender, Moldova. After losses at Poltava and Perevolochna, Charles XII and his force of about 1,000 men took reffugee in the town, with a five year stay permitted by the Ottomans. When Charles refused to leave, the Ottomans took Charles and his men captive, killing 31 Swedes in the skirmish. They would be held until news of a Swedish victory in the Battle of Gadebusch reached Ottoman ears. They were released, and Charles returned home to finish the Great Northern War, until his death in 1718 at the Siege of Fredriksten, where he was shot in the head after inspecting his men’s trenches.
