Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Sweden, Vol. 2 Joachim Trolle, the Archbishop's uncle, arrived at Upsala where the Danes began to ravage the land as usual. Lord Sten speedily repulsed them, and now, for the last time, sent some of the Senators to Trolle, praying and beseeching him to have mercy on his nu happy country, and no longer protect its enemies. This was but speaking to deaf ears. Gustaf Trolle thought of his revenge and his pride, not upon the weal and glory of the land. Meanwhile the Danes had again made a descent on Dufweniis, immediately beyond Stockholm. Sten Sture, accompanied by the young and valiant Gustaf Wasa, and a body of faithful soldiers, hastened thither, and beat the enemy, who, after great loss, were obliged to hurry on board their ships. They sailed back to Denmark, but left misery and devastation behind them, making descents on se veral parts of the coast, and burning town and country on their way home.

Download or read book The Cambridge History of Scandinavia written by Knut Helle and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-09-04 with total page 942 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a comprehensive exposition of both the prehistory and medieval history of the whole of Scandinavia. The first part of the volume surveys the prehistoric and historic Scandinavian landscape and its natural resources, and tells how man took possession of this landscape, adapting culturally to changing natural conditions and developing various types of community throughout the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages. The rest - and most substantial part of the volume - deals with the history of Scandinavia from the Viking Age to the end of the Scandinavian Middle Ages (c. 1520). The external Viking expansion opened Scandinavia to European influence to a hitherto unknown degree. A Christian church organisation was established, the first towns came into being, and the unification of the three medieval kingdoms of Scandinavia began, coinciding with the formation of the unique Icelandic 'Free State'.

Download or read book 200 Years of Peace written by Nevra Biltekin and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2022-07-18 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1814 Sweden has avoided involvement in armed conflicts and carried out policies of non-alignment in peacetime and neutrality during war. Even though the Swedish government often describes Sweden as a ‘nation of peace’, in 2004 the 200-year anniversary of that peace passed by with barely any attention. Despite its extraordinary longevity, research about the Swedish experience of enduring peace is underdeveloped. 200 Years of Peace places this long period of peace in broader academic and public discussions surrounding claimed Swedish exceptionality as it is represented in the nation’s social policies, expansive welfare state, eugenics, gender equality programs, and peace.
