The Battle of Visby in 1361 is one of the most dramatic moments in Swedish history. Follow Chris around the imposing walls of the city to find out more about their construction, their role in the battle between Gotlandic farmers and the Danish invaders and what happened on that fateful summer day over 650 years ago.
Our special thanks go to the Gotlands Museum for allowing us to film their amazing exhibition on the battle and get a good look into the history of Visby and Gotland as a whole. Do check them out if you’re on the island or via the link below.
If you want to learn more about the battle, you can listen to our interview with Thomas Nejman from Stockholm University back in Episode 59, which you can listen to on Spotify, here on RU-vid, or wherever you get your podcasts.
