Charles summons another illegal Parliament the same year, this time in Arboga, despite the difficult situation.

Only one of the Privy Councillors shows up.

The reason is that Charles’s goal of deposing Sigismund has now been revealed, and the men understand that a serious revolt is brewing.

When Duke Charles threatens the absent men with severe punishment, some of them lose courage.

Erik and Arvid Stenbock, Erik Larsson Sparre, Erik Brahe and Sten Banér flee immediately to Sigismund.
