Hi Martin,
do you have good information/sources about the Visby battle (was it in the early 14th century?). If I remember right there were numerous bodies excavated in a mass grave, some of them still wearing the mailshirts. Some had their BOTH LEGS cut away by a sword blow and one skull had FIVE crossbow bolts in the back of the head! Am I correct?
