Stockholm, 25 August 1667. In Södermalm, a Russian chancery official, taken into the service of the Royal Chancery after leaving Russia, falls into a quarrel with his host, the city's Russian interpreter Daniel Anastasius. The host stands in his underclothes ready for bed when he is struck by four thrusts of a narrow blade and dies two weeks later of his wounds. The accused confesses that he held the weapon but calls it self-defence, and the court must weigh his word against the host's wife's complaint.
