Medeltidsveckan 2005
In 1361, Valdemar Atterdag King of Denmark invaded the island
Gotland. He took Visby by force and ransacked the people.
Legend says he had 'help' from a young maiden he befriended while he
visited Gotland in disguise. For her help (not intended of course,
she was in love) she was put in a tower in the ring wall for the
rest of her life. During Medeltidsveckan these events are reenacted
every year, as shown below. More of this story can be found on
