Though nebulous it is almost tangible. It has to be experienced. Abun- dant evidence of this takes the form of the many remarkably well preserved medieval buildings in which one can almost step back in time. Not least among Vadstena’s other attractions is its immediate proximity to Lake Vattern which affords beaches and aquatic activities. A key factor in main- taining not only an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity, but also genera- ting the energy and movement in Vadstena, is the pride and sense of custo- dianship that the residents have in the place that creates it. A place that for centuries people have turned to for recreation and inspiration. Vadstena has CONTENT INHALT always been a place to marvel at, visit, return to, enjoy and stay in. Vadstena doesn’t only have one history – but many. And we create them together.

  • The Scots in Sweden Part Ii
    THE SCOTS IN SWEDEN PART II (A) MILITARIA THE TIME BEFORE GUSTAVUS II (ADOLPHUS). Far back in those remote days when the giant forms of Northern Mythology loomed out of the mist in unlovely grandeur, when Ossian sang and runic stones were raised in memory of battles, there is a legend of a host of Scots or “Skottarna” sailing across the seas on a roving and plundering expedition to Sweden and landing at Janum in the Bohus district. Their king was called Valbred, and his chief adviser Kuse. The frightened peasants, collected round their chiefs, found time to ensconce themselves in the Långevallspass, and awaited the enemy’s arrival. Stubbornly the pass was defended. At last the Scots gave way, but before they could reach the shore a battle took place in the neighbourhood of Nafversdal Church and Östad, where seventy huge stone pillars bear witness to their defeat. The remaining Scots were cut down before they gained their ships at a place where now Janum Church stands. [The legend has been poetically treated by Birger Ström in a little epic called Skottarna i Janum, Grebbestad, 1900. There are about 120 of these stone pillars at Janum. Kuse reached the shore but was killed. His grave is pointed out near Kuseröd, which was called after him (öde = fate, destiny).] As the centuries rolled on, the ships of other Scottish pirates, with the much dreaded Earl of Orkney at their head, troubled the Baltic seas, and for a long time prevented the development of a peaceful traffic between the two countries.

This article tackles the role a Jagiellonian princess, Catherine Jagiellon (1526- 1583) has been given in Swedish and Finnish history culture.

  • About Nationalmuseum
    About Nationalmuseum Nationalmuseum is Sweden’s museum of art and design. The collections consist of paintings, sculpture and paper-based artworks from the 16th to the 20th century, and applied art and design from the 16th century to the present day. The total number of artifacts is around 700,000. The museum is located on Blasieholmen in Stockholm, in a purpose-built edifice designed by Friedrich August Stüler, a German architect, and completed in 1866. The museum’s history pre-dates the building. The collections were moved to Blasieholmen having previously, in part, been kept in the “Royal Museum” founded 1792 and since 1794 located in the north garden wing of the Royal Palace in Stockholm. 2013-2018 the museum building went through a major renovation. Nationalmuseum is a government authority with a staff of about 150. Susanna Pettersson is Director General since August 1st, 2018. Every year, Nationalmuseum produces a number of major temporary exhibitions such as Henri de Toulouse- Lautrec, The Pre-Raphaelites, Caspar David Friedrich, Rubens and van Dyck and The Peredvizhniki. The museum provides a large number of works on loan each year to exhibitions at other museums in Sweden and abroad. Extensive research is conducted at Nationalmuseum, using the museum’s own collections as a starting point. A dedicated research department, opened in 1997, incorporates the museum’s archives and publications department and the Art Library, one of the largest art libraries in the Nordic countries, a resource shared with Moderna Museet. The museum also has a conservation department, with special expertise in the various types of artifact in each collection.

The nineteen papers were originally presented at an international conference in Stockholm in October 2011.The conference and the book are interdisciplinary, gathering scholars that specialise in various fields, for instance Art History, Literature, Scandinavian Languages and History.

Three major themes were envisaged for the conference: Birgittine art and culture, ver­ nacular texts and literature, and Birgittine activities outside Vadstena.
