Conquest Of Jemtland
The Conquest of Jemtland (''Återerövringen av Jämtland'') refers to the Norwegian (re-)conquest of the province of Jämtland ( no, Jemtland) in the summer of 1677 during the Scanian War. The conquest was short-lived; Sweden was able to regain control of the province in November the same year. Strategic aims Jämtland had been ceded to Sweden by Denmark-Norway at the Treaty of Brömsebro in 1645, and was, therefore, a target for reconquest.

Jacob (; ; ar, يَعْقُوب, Yaʿqūb; gr, Ἰακώβ, Iakṓb), later given the name Israel, is regarded as a patriarch of the Israelites and is an important figure in Abrahamic religions, such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Jacob first appears in the Book of Genesis, where he is described as the son of Isaac and Rebecca, and the grandson of Abraham, Sarah, and Bethuel.
