A sacrifice had been demanded. A sacrifice he would give them. And it would consist of men and women from all the groups that the Swedes hated and feared: Christians Wayfolk Finns and even the skogarmenn the small scattered communities of borderers who lived in the forests or on the moors and paid no taxes.
