Lecture: The Final Struggle for Skåne 1709-1710

In 1709, the moment had come again. Danish King Fredrik IV saw a new opportunity to reclaim the lost territories east of the Sound - everything seemed to be in his favour.

In this lecture, author and educator Anders Blidberg tells how Sweden had expanded at the expense of neighbouring countries and why Denmark saw its chance for revenge after the Battle of Poltava. Despite years of preparation, the attempt to reclaim the territories failed. How could this happen? Could a romantic adventure have distracted the Danish king?

Anders Blidberg often draws on local sources and events to illuminate broader historical contexts.
