Title: Kalmar Union and Swedish medieval OOB
Post by: Highlandbevan on September 11, 2020, 10:20:23 PM

I’m doing a set of army lists covering Medieval Scandinavia 1280 to 1523.

I’ve got old army lists to work from including DBM and others, plus the Osprey 1300-1500. I’m looking to put together a reasonable set of lists now, perhaps revising after I’ve made use of the ‘teach yourself Danish / Swedish ‘ books on my shelf.

Are there any good English language sites or sources you would suggest? Happy with sources in other languages but they will have to contribute to a later editing.

Dalauppror (occasionally active here I think, and certainly used to be on the Warlord Games forums) has been working on a Kalmar Union project for years; I imagine he has some good information on it - you can find his work here: https://dalauppror.blogspot.com/search/label/Kalmar%20Union%20War

Agreed. Michael's blog is one of the best sources out there for this kind of stuff.

Field off Glory Renaissance and Impetus both have lists for Danish, Swedish and Kalmar Union forces.

Far as I can tell Karl Knutsson Bonde (Charles VIII) died in 1470. The Swedish/independence faction at Brunkeberg were lead by Sten Sture the elder. No idea on other participants unfortunately.
