The Kalmar Bloodbath (Swedish: Kalmar blodbad), sometimes described as the First Kalmar Bloodbath to distinguish it from a later massacre in the same location, was a politically-motivated mass execution that was carried out in Kalmar, Sweden, in July 1505. The victims included the mayor of Kalmar, the city councillors and a number of the leading burghers of the city. The executions were ordered by King Hans of Denmark-Norway, ostensibly in retaliation for help rendered by the citizens of Kalmar to the Swedish regent Sten Sture the Elder in his 1503 siege of Kalmar Castle.

  • The Kalmar Bloodbath (Swedish: Kalmar blodbad), sometimes described as the First Kalmar Bloodbath to distinguish it from a later massacre in the same location, was a politically-motivated mass execution that was carried out in Kalmar, Sweden, in July 1505. The victims included the mayor of Kalmar, the city councillors and a number of the leading burghers of the city. The executions were ordered by King Hans of Denmark-Norway, ostensibly in retaliation for help rendered by the citizens of Kalmar to the Swedish regent Sten Sture the Elder in his 1503 siege of Kalmar Castle. Hans had become King of Denmark-Norway in 1481, and was also acclaimed as King of Sweden in 1497, thereby briefly restoring the pan-Scandinavian Kalmar Union. However, in 1501 the Swedes rebelled against him under the leadership of Sten Sture. A Danish garrison continued to hold out for some time at Kalmar Castle, close to the Danish border (Blekinge then being part of Denmark), but it was eventually compelled to surrender in 1503. Sten Sture died over the winter of 1503-4 and was succeeded as regent by his distant cousin Svante Nilsson. The two sides used the change of leadership as an opportunity to open negotiations, and in May 1504 a preliminary peace was agreed. As part of the deal it was arranged to hold a summit meeting between the Swedish, Danish and Norwegian riksråd (privy councils) at Kalmar in July 1505 to discuss possible conditions under which the Swedes might accept Hans as king again. However, the political situation in Sweden became unstable in spring 1505, and Svante Nilsson cancelled the meeting. Hans nevertheless travelled to Kalmar with his entourage, either because Svante's message failed to reach him in time or because he intended to send a message to the Swedes. In Kalmar, Hans assembled a court and tried Svante Nilsson in absentia for the crime of lèse-majesté, along with several other Swedish nobles including Nils Klausson, Sten Kristersson, Trotte Månsson (Eka), Erik Turesson, Åke Hansson (Thott), Erik Johansson Vasa, Tönne Eriksson (Thott) and Peder Turesson (Bielke). They were all declared to be guilty, and Hans decreed them sentenced to confiscation and imprisonment. Obviously the sentences could not be enforced as none of the Swedes were actually present, and so instead Hans demonstrated his power by having the leading citizens of Kalmar arrested and executed for having supposedly helped Sten Sture's forces in the 1503 siege of Kalmar Castle.

  • För det senare blodbadet i Kalmar, se Kalmar blodbad (1599). Kalmar blodbad (det tidigare) var en politiskt motiverad massavrättning som utfördes i Kalmar i juli 1505. Upprinnelsen var att svenska herremän 1501 avsatte Hans (Johan II) som svensk kung och utsåg Sten Sture den äldre till riksföreståndare för andra gången. Danskarna gjorde flera misslyckade försök att tvinga tillbaka Sverige in unionen igen, men i maj 1504 slöts ett stillestånd i Köpenhamn, på det att förhandlingar skulle inledas i juni 1505 i Kalmar. Överläggningarna skulle föras mellan Danmarks, Norges och Sveriges riksråd i närvaro av unionskungen. Oordningen i utbrytarstaten Sverige var stor. Sten Stures död 1503 hade komplicerat situationen, och Svante Nilsson (Sture)s val till efterträdare var ifrågasatt. Av den anledningen begärde det svenska riksrådet att sammankomsten skulle senareläggas. Kung Hans accepterade inte rådets begäran, utan reste till Kalmar tillsammans med de danska och norska riksråden. När det stod klart att svenskarna inte skulle komma tillsatte kungen en domstol och anklagade Svante Nilsson (Sture), , , Trotte Månsson (Eka), , , Erik Johansson (Vasa), och Peder Turesson (Bielke) för majestätsbrott. De dömdes i sin frånvaro att förlora ära, frihet, privilegier och gods. För att demonstrera sin vrede och sätta skräck i upprorsmakarna lät han avrätta Kalmars borgmästare, rådmän och de mest betydande borgarna. Motiveringen var att de hade varit behjälpliga när staden intagits av svenskarna 1503. Dessa avrättningar har kommit att kallas "Kalmar blodbad". (sv)
