The Poisoning at Lyby

Free ·about 1 h 30 min · 1–4 players

Lyby parish in Frosta hundred, Skåne, August 1767. The farmer Bengt Mårtensson's wife, Brita Olofsdotter, falls ill at her own table and dies. The house is small and few lived there — yet it takes time before the poison in the drink is given a name. A real case from Swedish legal history: the actual investigation and the actual judgment from the Frosta hundred court. Everyone involved has been dead for more than two hundred years, and everything in the record comes from preserved parish registers — the sources accompany the case.
