Finding Story

Christian the second of Denmark, a tyrant some might say, and a man who died by irony. In 1520 he was crowned king of Sweden, swore amnesty to everyone who had fought him, and threw a three day feast in Stockholm to celebrate. On the last day the doors shut, and what came next is known as the Stockholm Bloodbath.

I heard about it secondhand, eavesdropping on tour guides in Gamla Stan, and the old town is the kind of place that makes you believe it. Quiet enough, late enough, it doesn’t feel like much has changed. So I filmed an intro in the main square, did some research, and came back to tell you about the men who died, all the Gustavs who played their part, and the document that sealed their fate.

If I missed anything please let me know. I love hearing more!

It's not that serious, but sometimes a Mother goes a little nuts, envies, resents and fears her own child then tries to snack on their bones.

I honestly think the Grimm Brother's Snow White changed a bit too much. AND HONESTLY, I find this story so fascinating…still.

I probably missed a bunch, but hey, I'm not a scholar.
