Mutiny and Discontent in The Swedish Army 1609-1617

Militärhistoria

Jaakko Björklund from Helsinki University tells the story of mutiny and unrest in the Swedish Army during the Ingrian War against Muscovy in 1609-1617. He identifies the sources of disconent among the domestic and foreign troups, it's expressions, and explains how it was handled by the officers. This is a story of army (in)discipline in the time when Sweden went from supporting the Muscovite state to campaigning to absorb chunks of its territory.
