They spent the years 1710-14 at Bender in Moldavia, near the Black Sea, after Charles’s defeat by the Russians at Poltava. During his stay at Bender, Charles spent all his time trying to enlist Turkish aid against the Russians.

First Edition. An account of the reign of Christian III [1503-59], King of Denmark. Christian was proclaimed King in 1533 soon after the death of his father, Frederick I. A devoted Lutheran, he adopted severe measures to suppress the Catholic religion. Under his direction, a church ordinance based on the canons of Luther, Melanchthon and Bugenhagen, was promulgated in 1537, and in 1542, the position of the reformed Danish Church was consolidated by the Articles of Ribe. The increased revenue derived from the appropriation of Church property was a major factor in Denmark’s emergence as the leading Scandinavian power during the latter part of Christian III’s reign.
