Paul Barron Watson (1861-1948) was the American author of: Life of
Marcus Aurelius (1884), Marcus Aurelius Antoninus and The Swedish
Revolution Under Gustavus Vasa (1889). He was a member of the
American Historical Association. "No name in history lies deeper in
Swedish hearts than the name Gustavus Vasa. Liberator of Sweden
from the yoke of Denmark, and founder of one of the foremost
dynasties of Europe, his people during more than three centuries
have looked back fondly to the figure of their great ruler, and
cherished with tender reverence every incident in his romantic
history. This enthusiasm for Gustavus Vasa is more than sentiment;
it belongs to him as leader in a vast political upheaval. When
Gustavus came upon the stage, the Swedish people had long been
groaning under a foreign despotism. During more than a century
their political existence had been ignored, their rights as freemen
trampled in the dust. They had at last been goaded into a spirit of
rebellion, and were already struggling to be free."
