Avrättningar och centralmakt i Stora Tuna i Dalarna under den tidiga medeltiden : Nya analyser av benen från Kyrkskolan

• When construction started on a new school at Stora Tuna, Dalecarlia, almost 100years ago, skeletal remains of sixteen people were found. Several had been executedand some showed clear traces of decapitation. The newspapers immediately linkedthis remarkable find to political opponents executed at the site by King Gustav I in1528. This story stuck. In 2016 the local historical society transferred the bones tothe Swedish History Museum in Stockholm. In this connection, new analyses werecarried out whose results tell a completely different story: of power and centralisedorganisation hundreds of years before King Gustav’s day.
