Picture no.3700
ImageStockholms blodbad
MotifStockholms blodbad kalles de henrettelser som skjedde i tidsrommet 7.-10. november 1520 etter Christian IIs kroning i Stockholm. Blant de til sammen 94 personene som ble henrettet inngikk en stor del av Sveriges høyadel. The Stockholm Bloodbath, or the Stockholm Massacre , took place as the result of a successful invasion of Sweden by Danish forces under the command of King Christian II. The bloodbath itself was a series of events taking place between November 7 and November 9 in 1520, climaxing on the 8th, when around 80-90 people (mostly nobility and clergy supporting the Sture party) were executed, despite a promise by King Christian for general amnesty.wp.
