Sweden seems to be stuck in a loop in the early 1500s: there's internal conflict, and there's conflict with Denmark. After their villages have been ravaged by Danish troops, a group of peasants writes to the regent saying "such fire and plunder was not useful", which is the understatement of the age. We also see someone get a new job, but not for long...
Meanwhile, we also address the confusion around Sweden and Switzerland - here's a link to the video we mention in the episode!
And for those of you who want to check out the wreck of the Gribshunden ship that we mention in the episode, you can find that here.
