A few months later, in september fifteen ninety three, Zigismund arrived in Sweden to be crowned.
He was received with great distrust, and as he refused to ratify the Uppsala resolutions, matters soon reached a crisis, and blows were exchanged between his Polish followers and the burgers of Stockholm.
Charles kept himself in his duchy.
But when the estates refused to acknowledge Zigismund, unless he first ratified the resolutions of fifteen ninety three, the Duke came to Uppsala with three thousand soldiers and put himself and his force at the disposal of the estates.
Zigismund had to yield, in appearance, at least, and was thereupon crowned as king, but he at once proceeded to violate his pledge in hundreds of instances.
He favoured the Catholics everywhere, he set up Catholic worship, and when, on his return to Poland, he had to appoint Charles as his vice regent, he bestowed such extensive powers on provincial governors as to make centralization impossible.
The governors acted as they pleased, and openly resisted the commands of the Duke.
Charles resorted once more to the means that had succeeded so well before.
He summoned the estates.
Before they began their deliberations, he addressed the people in the public square, and they enthusiastically promised him their aid in the maintenance of the resolutions passed and to be passed under his guidance.
The estates were forced to follow the popular opinion, though the nobility had shown an inclination to side with the distant king, rather than with the near duke, thinking that they might thus be freer to do their own pleasure.
But the enthusiasm of the people, and the clearly expressed opinions of both burgers and peasants in the diet, prevailed over such selfish calculations, and
The statutes of Suderkoping confirmed and strengthened those of Uppsala.
An end was to be put to the last remnants of Catholic worship.
All Catholic clergymen, and in fact all sectaries opposed to the evangelical church, were to leave the land within six weeks, even the ancient and renowned monastery at Vatstena was suppressed.
Zigismund was beside himself at the revolutionary conduct of his uncle, and
He forbade the people to pay the taxes imposed by Charles, urged the council to withstand the Duke, and promised protection to all who should rise against the resolution of Suterkoping.
But the people were well pleased with the Duke's course and stood faithfully by him.
Charles offered to resign the regency, but summoned another meeting of the estates in fifteen ninety seven, this time at Arboga.
There the higher and more conservative classes, the nobility and the clergy, separated from him, but the peasants, brandishing their clubs and axes, exclaimed that they would defend the Duke as long as their blood was warm.
