NK - Trivial Trivia

[pwells at oknd.uscourts.gov]

     I learned this trivia today and thought someone out there might be 
     interested or know if it's true.
     
     
     King Charles VII, who was assassinated in 1167, was the first Swedish 
     king with the name of Charles. Charles I, II, III, IV, V, never 
     existed. No one knows why. To add to the mystery, 
     almost 300 years went by before there was a Charles VIII (1448-57).
