Everything about The Battle Of Gestilren totally explained
The
Battle of Gestilren took place
July 17 1210. The battle was fought between the exiled
King of Sweden Sverker and the ruling King
Eric. Sverker had been beaten in the previous
Battle of Lena, but had returned with new forces. Sverker was killed in the battle. The strength of the armies are unknown.
The location where this battle took place is the subject of a very long and very heated discussion between Swedish historians. Traditionally, the locatin was believed to be
Varv in
Västergötland, where a monument was erected in 1910 to commemorate the 700 years since the battle.
Recently, the former antiquarian and spare time historian
Lars-Otto Berg has claimed that it was located at
Gästre in
Uppland,
Sweden, since he found the farm name "Gestilren" fifteen times in the local church records during the years 1580-1630.
Gunnar Linde has come forward with the claim that the battle was fought in
Göstring Hundred in Östergötland, and
Lars Gahrn believes it was a sea-battle.
