Kalmar Bloodbath (1505)
The Kalmar Bloodbath ( Swedish: ''Kalmar blodbad''), sometimes described as the First Kalmar Bloodbath to distinguish it from a later massacre in the same location, was a politically-motivated mass execution that was carried out in Kalmar, Sweden, in July 1505. The victims included the mayor of Kalmar, the city councillors and a number of the leading burghers of the city. The executions were ordered by King Hans of Denmark-Norway, ostensibly in retaliation for help rendered by the citizens of Kalmar to the Swedish regent Sten Sture the Elder in his 1503 siege of Kalmar Castle. Hans had become King of Denmark-Norway in 1481, and was also acclaimed as King of Sweden in 1497, thereby briefly restoring the pan-Scandinavian Kalmar Union. However, in 1501 the Swedes rebelled against him under the leadership of Sten Sture. A Danish garrison continued to hold out for some time at Kalmar Castle, close to the Danish border (Blekinge then being part of Denmark), but it was eventually compel ...
