Do You Accept the Challenge to Run As a Berzerker Through History?

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you experienced historic events throughout an obstacle course? Have you ever thought about running through a wall of Vikings, or a battle set in the year 1710 with Carolean’s aiming their muskets at you? You might even have wondered what it was like to partake in the assault of Omaha beach at Normandy in 1944? Berzerk is a different OCR race located in Helsingborg, in the south of Sweden. With its uniqueness to blend the city’s historical events into an obstacle course 23rd July. We are hell-bent to exceed the limits of an obstacle race and maximize the experience for our competitors and spectators. To unify our town’s history with challenges from powerful events and personalities born in Helsingborg. One such includes the Battle of Helsingborg 1710 when Magnus Stenbock defeated the Danish army and reclaimed the lost lands to the king. It was Denmark’s failed and final attempt to regain the Scanian lands. This time competitors will run through a battlefield of smoke, mud and musket fire to embrace the harsh environment. At D-day Kurt Björklund one of many volunteers in the British army stormed the beach in Normandy to free Europe from the siege of the Axis. We have dedicated one Obstacle to this third world circumnavigator and our town’s preparedness fortification during WWII. That includes both water, bunker towers and water cannons. You will probably not know how it is to run through a shield wall, not know anything about running through a battlefield with mud, smoke and cannon-fire. You will learn our history the hard way, because you will be there to raid it. As a lonewolf, battle-brothers or a team, you´re in history together. Run it victorious… 23 July 2016 Helsingborg Expect the unexpected… Web: www.berzerk.se Instagram: berzerk_ocr Facebook: Berzerk.ocr Mail: [email protected] Do you accept the challenge to run as a Berzerker through history? .

Economic Violence Or the Law of War? Swedish Contributions From
KATARZYNA WAGNER University of Warsaw Faculty of History ORCID: 0000-0002-5454-6151 Economic violence or the law of war? Swedish contributions from the period of the Great Northern War as an example of extraordinary provisions imposed on the residents of the cities within the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Keywords: contributions, taxes, Polish-Swedish wars, Great Northern War, Polish-Lithu- anian Commonwealth, 18th century Słowa kluczowe: kontrybucje, podatki, wojny polsko-szwedzkie, Wielka Wojna Północna, Rzeczpospolita Obojga Narodów, XVIII w. INTRODUCTION Słownik Języka Polskiego [Dictionary of the Polish Language] offers three defini- tions of the term ‘contribution’: ‘1. a pecuniary tribute imposed on the defeated state by the victorious state in the course of a peace treaty; 2. historically, during a war: forced payment in money or food collected by the military; 3. historically, a charge levied by a ruler on a country he had conquered; protection money, tribute, tax’1. While analysing modern tax sources, it turns out that—due to their specificity as well as to the time and manner of their collection—the definition proposed by the Dictio- nary, albeit true, is incomplete, and it is imperative to include additional components. The analysis of the definition proposed above will be possible thanks to regis- ters of Swedish contributions imposed by the occupier on specific cities. This paper aims to answer the question about the practice (and legitimacy) of Swedish troops imposing contributions on the inhabitants of cities in the Polish-Lithuanian Com- monwealth. Another issue will be to determine what place they occupied within the general system of contributions upon which the Swedish way of waging wars was based.

Vad En Tavla Kan Berätta
Vad en tavla kan berätta För att förstå den roll Magnus Stenbock senare fick i historien, måste vi gå lite tillbaka i historien. Magnus Stenbocks pappa var generalguvernör för Skåne, Blekinge och Halland. Det betyder att hans huvuduppgift vara att styra och bevaka landskapen, inte minst från anfall från Danmark. Danskarna hade ju förlorat de här landskapen vid freden i Roskilde 1658. Nu ville de försöka återfå dem och de passade på när svenskarna var i ett osäkert och besvärligt läge. Så var det när den unge Karl XII, endast 15 år gammal, tillträdde som kung i Sverige. Du kanske minns att inte bara Danmark, utan också Ryssland och Polen, såg ett tillfälle att förklara Sverige krig då. Karl XII överrumplade emellertid danskarna norr om Köpenhamn med en stark och slagkraftig arme´ och danskarna ville ha fred innan det ens hunnit avlossas ett enda skott. Året var 1700 och den svenska armén kunde lämna Danmark och marschera vidare mot fienden Ryssland. Det är nu Magnus Stenbock träder in i den svenska historien. Han är överste för ett av regementena. Vid Narva vinner svenskarna en överlägsen seger och Magnus Stenbock utmärker sig under slaget som en duktig militär och organisatör. Karl XII förstår hans talang och utnämner honom till generalkrigs- kommissarie, den högsta administrativa befattning det gick att få i den karolinska armén på den här tiden. Stenbock blev dessutom omtyckt av kungen även privat. Han var en stor sällskapsmänniska och kungen ville ständigt ha honom i sin närhet. Stenbock kunde dessutom både sjunga och spela och han var mycket beläst.

The Manly Sacrifice: Martial Manliness and Patriotic Martyrdom in Nordic Propaganda During the Great Northern War’ Gender & History, Vol.25 No.1 April 2013, Pp
Gender & History ISSN 0953-5233 Andreas Marklund, ‘The Manly Sacrifice: Martial Manliness and Patriotic Martyrdom in Nordic Propaganda during the Great Northern War’ Gender & History, Vol.25 No.1 April 2013, pp. 150–169. The Manly Sacriﬁce: Martial Manliness and Patriotic Martyrdom in Nordic Propaganda during the Great Northern War Andreas Marklund The battle of Narva on 20 November 1700 stirred up an abundant flurry of Swedish war propaganda. The furious, blizzard-swept battle, in which the army of King Charles XII managed to defeat a numerically superior Russian adversary, was celebrated in a plethora of poems, war ballads and pictorial representations. Central and local author- ities throughout the Swedish empire organised processions and religious ceremonies to spread the word of the military victory to the King’s subjects.1 Yet the battle of Narva also took a heavy death toll, on both the Swedish and the Russian sides. A few weeks after the battle, the royal printer Salig Wankifs Enka in Stockholm published a written memorial for the fallen Swedish soldiers: Memorial in Honour of the Brave Swedish Killed and Wounded under His Royal Majesty’s own Venerated Command ....2 The publication was flowery and somewhat muddled. At its core was a list of Swedish casualties: 667 dead and 1,247 wounded. The private soldiers appeared as anonymous numbers, whereas officers were listed with their names and detailed descriptions of their wounds. Apart from the listed casualties, the publication was made up of bombastic lyrical passages celebrating the sacrifice of the fallen soldiers. Here was an explicit dimension of ars moriendi – guidance in the principles of the Good Death.

Through this study I intend to establish that there were discrepancies and expressions of other norms in 17th and 18th century military culture. Both from natural law but also from Christian belief. A secondary aim is to establish how such variances were manifested and how they can be explained. A few theoretical starting-points have been used as a guide in developing the purpose and relevant questions for this study.

SWEDEN BY VICTOR NILSSON HISTORY OF SWEDEN CHAPTER I Sweden in Prehistoric and Early Historic Times—Archæological Finds and Classical Testimony The Swedes, although the oldest and most unmixed race in Europe, realized very late the necessity of writing chronicles or reviews of historic events. Thus the names of heroes and kings of the remotest past are helplessly forgotten, and lost also the history of its earliest religion and institutions. But Mother Earth has carefully preserved most of what has been deposited in her bosom, and has repaid diligent research with trustworthy and irrefutable accounts of the age and various degrees of civilization of the race which inhabited Sweden in prehistoric times. Thus it has been proved that Sweden, like most other countries, has had a Stone Age, a Bronze Age, and an Iron Age. But there is absolutely no evidence to prove the now antiquated theories of various immigrations into Sweden by different races on different stages of civilization. On the contrary, the graves from the remotest times, through all successive periods, prove by the form of the skulls of those buried in them that Sweden has, through all ages, been inhabited by the same dolichocephalic, or long-headed, race which constitutes the overwhelming majority of her people to-day. Sweden, physically considered, is not of as high antiquity as some countries of Europe. Yet it has been inhabited during the last four thousand years, at least. In the quaternary period the Scandinavian peninsula was a centre of a glacial movement which spread its disastrous influences over Western Russia, Northern Germany and Holland.
