I was just having fun reading about the Stockholm Bloodbath that happened back in November 7 and 9 in 1520 where around 80-90 people, mostly nobility and clergy were killed by the invadish Danish army.

The fountain looks very ominous up close
And as a result.... =
If the intention behind the executions had been to frighten the anti-unionist party into submission, it proved wholly counterproductive.
Gustav Vasa was a son of Erik Johansson, one of the victims of the executions. Vasa, upon hearing of the massacre, travelled north to the province of Dalarna to seek support for a new revolt.
The population, informed of what had happened, rallied to his side. 
They were ultimately able to defeat Christian's forces in the Swedish War of Liberation.
The lasting irony of the Bloodbath is that an act which was intended to strengthen the position of the unionist party turned out to be the catalyst that permanently separated Sweden from Denmark.
