The Double Execution at Arbrå

about 1 h 45 min · 1–4 players

Arbrå parish in Hälsingland, autumn 1816. The discharged veteran Olof Olsson Smed from Östansjö is struck by a shot and dies on the spot, and three people from the district are brought before an extraordinary court at Arbrå: the crofter Eric Larsson Gråberg of Mörtsjö, the widow Margta Jonsdotter of Östansjö, and Barbro Ersdotter. Two of them go to the block on the scaffold between Arbrå and Bollnäs on 26 June 1818, while the third dies in custody before then. A real case from Swedish legal history: the real investigation, the real verdict and the real execution. Everyone involved has been dead for more than two hundred years, and everything in the file comes from public records — the sources accompany the case.
