Håtunaleken starts...

The lords year 1301 at midsummer time ... All free men of Sweden have been called to the "Mora Stones" in Lagga parish south of Uppsala by the Lord Marshal Torgils Knutsson to confirm the election of young Birger Magnusson from the House of Bjälbo as King of Sweden.

Birgers father the King Magnus Birgersson died in 1290 and the realm have been ruled by the Lord Marshal Torgils Knutsson sin then, but now the time have come to let Birger become Swedish King himself...or not...

As Sweden by the time was a Elective Kingdom and Birger have two younger brothers that also are keen to get hold of the Swedish Crown...

And there are also some of the other major noble familys that think they now have a chance to get their familis to become the royal house of Sweden...

There´s troubble in the air...

Tomorrow monday our first Campaign game will take place, I have been painting a much for this project lately, just finished me a banner and a banner holder for my character Gudmar Magnusson from the House of Ulvåsa.

I also put some time in making Activation cards for each House my friends have choosen for the campaing and also some unit cards to have the unit stats handy during play. Tonight I will get down to the club and set the terrain so all will be ready for tomorrow:)

Also got 12 more Allmog that need to be finished untill tomorrow...

If some one would get elected King during tomorrows game, he would then have to make his "Eriksgata" journy to get the election confirmed by the other things around middle Sweden. Below you have a map of how they would have to ride. After the confirmation at each thing you would be the rightfull King of Sweden...much can happen during the tripp so be sure to bring much loyal troops...

It is told that when Ragnvald Knaphövde 1134 was riding his "Eriksgata" he was killed by the Allmoge in Västergötaland sins hi had rode in to the county with out taking hostages...
