The Battle of Visby : ON JULY 22, 1361, 1,800 Gotland farmers were k!lled in a brvtal clash with Danish troops.

 


King Valdemar had commanded his forces to conquer parts of southern Sweden, landing there with an army of mounted knights and German foot mercenaries. The invaders faced off against the poorly equipped locals who lost over half

of their army in the battle. The dead fighters were buried in mass graves with their chain mail, gloves and weapons.

 Five mass graves were excavated in the 20th century outside Visby's walls from the medevial battle. The skeletons,  chain mail and weapons were all remarkably preserved. A permanent exhibit with some of  the soldiers remains and their armour is now in the Swedish History Museum.

The video was filmed in July of last year, according to a source, who also added that they had "probably been out all day drinking or so...

Galvarino was heralded as a fearsome warrior, though it probably had something to do with the sharpened knives secured to the ends of his arms where his hands used to be.  CommonsA depiction of Galvarino just after the Spanish cut off his hands. Galvarino was the Mapuche’s version of William Wallace. A chieftain and warrior, Galvarino sought to free his people from Spanish domination in the mid-1500s. The Mapuche inhabited present-day Chile and much of Argentina in the 1500s when the Spanish conquered the Incas with their superior forces and firepower.

From 1536 to the early 1800s, the Mapuche fought the Spanish as part of the Arauco War that lasted more than 250 years.
