ABSTRACT

IN connection with the deeds of King Kristofer which I related in the last chapter, I should like a similar cruelty to be noted, that of King Domaldi, Sweden's sixty-third native ruler, commented on in Bk VII of his Histories by the lord archbishop of Uppsala. His realm was suffering the severest ill fortune when his courtiers, coming together under pretence of protecting their country and the innocent, ostensibly declared themselves to be the servants of justice and fair play, when they were in fact the enemies of the citizens and of all probity and virtue.
