Were the Swedish holdings in northern Germany accepting or resentful of their overlord after the Peace of Westphalia?
score:5
Accepted answer
Even after the Peace of Westphalia, Swedish rule was well-regarded to the extent that it was regarded at all. The problem was that Swedish rulers exerted very little power in Pomerania, where two-seventh of the people still lived in serfdom at this late date, and the rest of the rural poor were not much better off.This was due to the power of the local nobles, who had far more power than their counterparts in Sweden.
The one (positive) exception was large cities such as Straslund and Stettin, which were granted autonomy from the aristocracy, were answerable only to the Swedish crown, and where Swedish rule of law prevailed.
