Elin Abrahamsson | Attending BATTLE OF WISBY for the first time @elinabrahamsson9442 | Uploaded August 2019 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Follow along while I'm attending Battle of Wisby for the first time ever!
Some glimpses from the Medieval Week are also included, as well as my preparations before the event.
SOME FACTS:
Battle of Wisby recreates two battles wich took place in 1361. These were the Battle of Mästerby and the battle outside the wall itself, Battle of Wisby. These were consequences of the Danish king Waldemar Atterdag invading Gotland,an Swedish island in the Baltic Sea, and wanting to subjugating the island as he had done the same in southern parts of Sweden. The Danish army was superior and quickly won the two battles, forcing the local people to surrender. The event also consists of a camp outside the city wall, with hundreds of reenactors living, from all over the world, for an entire week.
