Classify Gustavus Adolphus

[finþaų]

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.”

[Dacul]

Lol finþaų you really think he was looking like that?
Maybe the painter was not that great...lol.
How he could look other than some nordid type,being swede?

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.

[Dacul]

Oh lol,I never saw till now swede to not be nordid.
When I said nordid I included there all nordid phenotypes:
hallstat nordid,keltic nordid,anglo-saxon,borreby,baltids,faelid etc.
Can you show me a pontid swede or a med swede?Or a dinarid swede,or a alpinid swede?

[finþaų]

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

Nonetheless, here is a Strandid (Alpinoid) Swede:
