The Hammer Blow in the Smith's Workshop

about 1 h 30 min · 1–4 players

Stockholm, March 1626. A smith lies ill in his bed in the workshop by Munkbron when a hammer strikes him in the head. At the gaming table the master smith's apprentice and a servant had been playing cards for a jug of beer, and in the dark the blow fell. A real case from the Stockholm City Court Book: the same inquiry, the same man arrested, the same sentence and the same execution at Järntorget on 12 August. Everyone in the case has been dead for nearly four hundred years, and the sources accompany the case.
