Welcome to the tour of Gustav the Third, King of Sweden between 1772 and 1792!What do you know about him? That he was murdered at the opera maybe. Or that he's often been called the King of Theatre. Or perhaps you get the picture of a slightly ridiculous, pastry eating character with make-up and a French accent? Well, you wouldn't be entirely wrong. But he was a lot more than that.
