Death in the Executioner's House

about 1 h 15 min · 1–4 players

Stockholm, 20 March 1650. In the executioner's own house at Stigberget, a man lies dead in the doorway, with a wound only an edged weapon could have made. The master of the house is the city's executioner, known as Master Mikael, and no one else was in the room when it happened. He says the guest ran onto his sword by accident — and the court must decide whether an executioner's word weighs heavier than the sword in his own house. A real case from Swedish legal history: the same investigation, the same suspect, the same verdict. All those involved are long dead, and the entire record rests on public documents — the sources follow the case.
