Talk:Karl Leopold, Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin

Deposed by imperial decree
No mention here that Prince Eugene referred to him as 'Charles XII's monkey'. Charles XII was the king of Sweden, and Karl Leopold imitated him in mannerisms and speech. But more importantly, he was in dispute with his nobles, and quartered Russian troops on Mecklenburg soil to put them down. This led to an Imperial Decree (Reichsexekution) by Emperor Charles VII to have him ousted in favour of his younger brother Christian Ludwig. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.173.174.167 (talk) 16:57, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
