A proposito di questo titolo

In 1520, Sweden's power struggle with Denmark reached a brutal climax. After a failed uprising, Danish King Christian II invited Swedish nobles to a peace celebration in Stockholm — then locked the gates and beheaded over 80 of them, including bishops and councilmen. This episode follows the dramatic siege of Stockholm, the betrayal of Sten Sture the Younger, the heroics of his widow Christina Gyllenstierna, and the Stockholm Bloodbath that galvanized Swedish resistance. We examine how this atrocity propelled Gustav Vasa to lead a rebellion that shattered the Kalmar Union and birthed modern Sweden. Along the way, we meet figures like Didrik Slagheck, Gustav Trolle, and the doomed Bishop Mattias. A story of vengeance, politics, and the bloody birth of a nation.
