The boat grave at Årby Gård
The boat grave at Årby Gård also known as Årbybåten contained a boat that is so far the only one of its kind and dates from the 10th century. It was found in 1933 at Årby Gård, near Rasbokil, east of Uppsala in eastern Sweden, and was fully excavated in 1935 but unfortunately insufficiently documented.

The boat with the burial objects (x)
The boat itself is 3.95m long and 1.05m wide, it was made of 5 planks and weighs about 55kg. It could carry a load of about 130 kg. This means that it could carry a person plus cargo or two people over longer distances in calm waters. It had oars and paddles with a movable oar bench. The boat had been used, as repairs and other evidence show, for more than 100 years before it was used for the burial of a woman (whether it really was one can no longer be said) On the skeleton the oars and paddle had been placed. Inside the boat there were well preserved wooden bowls, spoons, ropes and a game board. Outside the boat were a dog and a stallion with its head cut off. Before the discovery, the tomb had already been looted and all metal objects removed. The damage to the boat itself probably occurred in the process.

The excavation of the boat, 1935 (x)
The boat has an interesting place in maritime archaeological history because its shape and structure indicate the influence of a nonlocal ethnic group, that of the Sami. Little is known about how the hunter groups that handled domesticated reindeer from about 1000 BC, even before the Viking Age (800-1050 AD), are related to the Sámi. Around 500 AD, however, the northern Swedish groups came into contact with the Vendel people (a group of people from the Vendel region of the central Swedish province of Uppland), and knowledge was exchanged.
Tumblr media
(x)
In the 9th century, this context gave rise to the boat, according to more recent dating, which ends a hundred years later in the boat grave at Årby Gård. The burial custom that began with the boat graves of the Vendel Age (550-800 AD) did not end until the end of the Viking Age (1050 AD).

Mellanfjärden, Sweden (No. 3)
Hälsingland, sometimes referred to as Helsingia in English, is a historical province or landskap in central Sweden. It borders Gästrikland, Dalarna, Härjedalen, Medelpad and the Gulf of Bothnia. It is part of the land of Norrland.
The earliest mention of the people of Hälsingland may be in the Old English poem Widsith, from the 9th or 10th century, where a people called the Hælsings are referred to. The first definite mention of the people is made by Adam of Bremen around 1070, in reference to the leidang shipping fleet.
In the medieval age, the "Helsings" were the Swedish speaking inhabitants of the entire coastal region north of Uppland, a rather imprecise denomination. In the early provincial law of Uppland, the border between northern Uppland and Hälsingland was the Ödmården forest.
In the 13th century a large number of people emigrated from Hälsingland to the southern coasts of Finland, then called Österland. They named places after Hälsingland, most notably the river Helsingeå and its first rapids Helsingfors. In 1550 the latter gave name to a new town founded next to it by King Gustav Vasa. In 1812 the city of Helsinki became capital of Finland.
The oldest city in Hälsingland is Hudiksvall, chartered in 1582. After that, Söderhamn was chartered in 1620. In 1942 Hälsingland was granted its third city, Bollnäs, which was to become the last city (in Hälsingland) as city status in Sweden was abolished in 1971.
The town of Hudiksvall, one of the oldest in Norrland, was ransacked by Russian troops in 1721. Hälsinge Regiment was the provincial regiment.

todays adventure in “gonna check something on wikipedia and i have ADD”:
i started with... something (can’t remember) which led me to the province Västmanland, and several hours later it has resulted in: the parish of Roslags-Kulla in Åkersberga municipality outside tjåsskasulla/stockholm. assorted building types associated with rural sweden in roughly the period 1700-1940. daesh and the salafi imams associated with their recruitment in sweden. the early-medieval king Knut Eriksson. the ingrian ethnic group. an assortment of early medieval churches in the province Uppland. swedish poverty-care in the 1800′s and until the final abolishment of feudalism in 1948. the atomwaffen division. and, of course, the icelandic municipality Gríndavík
and, as mentioned, i have completely forgotten what i originally went in to check

{Fritillaria Meleagris, Sounds Baths & Synchronicity} Fritillaria, also known as chess flower, has found its way to my bed side table. This gorgeous checkered lily is the province flower of Uppland, Sweden, where I was born and it’s also one of my favorite spring flowers. In Swedish it’s named Kungsängslilja which means Lily of King’s Meadows. Its symbolism varies but my favorite interpretation is that of rebirth, letting go and transformation. Interestingly enough “letting go” has been my theme for this week. I simply bought the flower last night because I love it but wasn’t surprised when I researched its meaning! Once you open up to synchronicity it’s always there and you realize that you always choose what you truly need. I set “letting go” as my intention during a wonderful gong bath last Sunday and in the past 4 days I’ve been to no less than 3! First with gongs and Tibetan singing bowls, then a private session with bowls and gongs surrounding me and last night with opera arias performed live by five soloists. What a magical week of letting go through sound healing and what amazing flow and synchronicity. What flower would you intuitively choose today? You might be amazed by its meaning. #fritillaria #fritillariameleagris #chessflower #aconsciousspace #mybedroom #bedroominteriors #sacredspace #inspiration #synchronicity #flowerportrait #flowersymbolism #lettinggo https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu-7XkFBcjX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fhlq9kywutpb

Princess Adrienne’s duchy is really the smallest?
After the announcement of Princess Adrienne’s duchy last Monday, some articles were saying she got the second smallest duchy/province there is in Sweden. Some people also said it was fitting because, after all, she’s 10th in line to the Swedish throne. But others started complaining and saying it was a shitty one.
So, I got to think. Is there really anything related to that fact? Did all the other kids got duchies accordingly to their succession places? 
Let me get one thing straight: it’s not a competition of who gets the bigger ones. The King chose them and his children accepted them. I just looked it out of curiosity to see if this argument holds.
So, first things first. Sweden is actually grouped in three parts: Götaland (South), Svealand (Center), Norrland (North). And in those three parts, there are 25 provinces (landskap) that the King decides to ‘give’ to one of his children or grandchildren when they’re born.
I first wanted to know which counties were in each division. In bold there’s the duchies already in use and in italic ones are those which never had a duke or a duchess. So we got:
- Götaland: Blekinge, Bohuslän, Dalsland, Gotland, Halland, Skåne, Småland, Västergötland, Öland and Östergötland. (5 out of 10 duchies in use).
- Svealand: Dalarna, Närke, Södermanland, Uppland, Värmland, Västmanland. (3 out of 6 duchies in use).
- Norrland: Ångermanland, Gästrikland, Hälsingland, Härjedalen, Jämtland, Lappland, Medelpad, Norrbotten, Västerbotten. (3 out of 9 duchies in use).
So, I searched and searched for the area and population of each province and the numbers differ from a source to another. I’ll get the one that is closest in numbers to all the others I saw. And since Madeleine has two duchies, I won’t separate them. Our numbers are:
Tumblr media
If we were to rank them for it’s area (which is what’s causing all this conversation), it’d be something like this:
Tumblr media
We can see above that yes, Princess Adrienne got the smallest duchy. But I was surprised to see that neither Crown Princess Victoria or Prince Carl Philip hold the biggest ones, even though Carl Philip  was born Crown Prince. His is bigger than Victoria’s, but way smaller than his son’s. I was also bothered that all the girls are so far down. And we can see that there’s no girl holding bigger duchies than boys. They all got big ones.
Now let’s see if we rank them by population how this list would be?
Tumblr media
was more pleased to see we’ve got the girls a bit more up in the rank than the previous one. And I can’t deny that the King found a way to give Carl Philip’s sons big duchies either in area (for Gabriel) or in population (for Alexander).
And, back to the topic, Princess Adrienne stays in 10th place if we rank her in the succession line, also in 10th place by the size of her duchy, but then she’s a 7th if we rank her by the population of Blekinge. So, I don’t really think people should be calling it a shitty one. It’s fitting at least. Her sister, who was born 5th in line and now is 8th, wasn’t given a bigger duchy back then. The same can’t be said about their brother, though…
It’s also important to note that I only organized them by the number of area and population and didn’t explore it’s economical influence in Sweden’s economy because that’s way too much to search. But each and every county/province has it’s value and it’s richness in culture.
And now, because I had so much fun doing this, let’s compare the other duchies that are left. This will be easier for guessing when they announce another baby for the family (and yes, I’m hoping for at least two more babies). The one underlined belonged to Prince Bertil and Princess Lilian and I don’t believe it’ll be used anytime soon. The bold one belonged to the King when he was just a Prince.
Organized by area:
Tumblr media
Organized by population:

So, I hope you guys enjoy reading this. Because I sure enjoyed myself putting it together.

Fritillaria meleagris is a Eurasian species of flowering plant in the lily family. Its common names include snake's head fritillary, snake's head (the original English name), chess flower, frog-cup, guinea-hen flower, guinea flower, leper lily (because its shape resembled the bell once carried by lepers), Lazarus bell, chequered lily, chequered daffodil, drooping tulip or, in northern Europe, simply fritillary. The flower has a chequered pattern in shades of purple or is sometimes pure white. It flowers from March to May and grows between 15–40 cm (6–16 in) in height. The plant has a button-shaped bulb, about 2 cm in diameter, containing poisonous alkaloids. It grows in grasslands in damp soils and river meadows at altitudes up to 800 m (2,625 ft). Fritillaria meleagris is native to Europe and western Asia but in many places, it is an endangered species that is rarely found in the wild but is commonly grown in gardens. In Croatia, the flower is known as kockavica and is associated by some with the country's national symbol. It is the official flower of the Swedish province of Uppland, where it grows in large quantities every spring at the meadows in Kungsängen (Kings meadow), just outside Uppsala, which gives the flower its Swedish name, kungsängslilja (Lily of Kings meadow). It is also found for example in Sandemar Nature Reserve, a nature reserve west of Dalarö in Stockholm Archipelago. Now easily available as an ornamental spring bulb for the garden, it is commonly sold as a mixture of different coloured cultivars. The species and the pure white-flowered variety F. meleagris var. unicolor subpar. Alba has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. Like many plants in the lily family, F. meleagris is susceptible to the scarlet lily beetle, which can seriously damage or kill it.

It is time to show some light on the swedish province flags such as Skåne. It is a combination between the danish and swedish flag.
from /r/vexillology Top comment: I wanted to clarify that this is the only official swedish provincial flag. Other provinces has tried to get a flag as their official flag but so far it hasn't worked. Therefor I will present some of the flags that has been suggested from the provinces. Some provinces do not have any flags and therefor use their seal. Such as Lappland. Lappland - They use their [seal](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9d/Lappland_vapen.svg/1200px-Lappland_vapen.svg.png) and [Norrland's](http://flagghuset.se/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Norrlandsflagga.bmp) flag Norrbotten - They just put their seal on their [flag](https://shopcdn.textalk.se/shop/32225/art25/h2356/155482356-origpic-895adc.jpg?max-width=720&max-height=960&quality=85) and called it a day Västerbotten - They too just use their seal on their [flag](https://flaggby.se/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/vasterbotten-flagga.jpg) Jämtland - I first thought that their [flag](http://www.varldensflaggor.se/bilder/original/jamtlands-flagga.png) was a ripoff of Lesotho but no Ångermanland - Nice little fishes on their [flag](https://flaggby.se/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/angermanland-flagga.jpg) but it is still their seal Medelpad - When you can't have a flag so you just use your seal as a [flag](https://shopcdn.textalk.se/shop/32225/art25/h2416/155482416-origpic-98e23a.jpg?max-width=720&max-height=960&quality=92) instead Hälsingland - Just Åland... But different! Their [flag](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/52/Flag_of_%C3%85land.svg/250px-Flag_of_%C3%85land.svg.png) is quite nice though Härjedalen - Actually a good [flag](http://www.varldensflaggor.se/bilder/original/harjedalens-flagga.png)! This could be my municipality flag since their colours are also black and yellow. 10/10 Dalarna - Still their own seal but they just iron it on to their [flag](https://flaggby.se/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/dalarna-flaggby.jpg) Gästrickland - Moose [flag](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ca/G%C3%A4strikland_vapen_.svg/250px-G%C3%A4strikland_vapen_.svg.png) Värmland - Still an ironed seal. But still just okay [flag](https://flaggby.se/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/varmland-flaggby.jpg) Västmanland - They didn't even bother to iron it on a flag. They just went with their [seal](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/21/V%C3%A4stmanland_vapen.svg/250px-V%C3%A4stmanland_vapen.svg.png) instead Uppland - No one bothered here either. I mean they had an oppurtunity to make it their flag, but they thought that their [seal](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/ba/Uppland_vapen.svg/1200px-Uppland_vapen.svg.png) wasbetter I guess Dalsland - Ferdinand [flag](https://grongult.se/download/file.php?avatar=571_1452850359.jpg). It is still though their seal Närke - Delaware of Sweden. Except there is no coast. But there is a [flag](https://flaggby.se/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/narke_landskapsflagga.jpg) and here it is. Except that is just their seal on their flag Södermanland - Their [flag](https://flaggby.se/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/sodermanland-flagga-flaggby.jpg) reminded me of the HRE's flag Bohuslän - This [flag](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2b/Flag_of_Bohusl%C3%A4n.svg/1200px-Flag_of_Bohusl%C3%A4n.svg.png) is aestethically unpleasing, maybe therefor they wanted to change their [flag](http://bahus.arkivguiden.net/ba14/ba14001.jpg) to this instead. Västergötland - They hated the concept of seals as flags so they just made a new [flag](http://www.varldensflaggor.se/bilder/original/vastra-gotalands-flagga.png) Östergötland - Now it has come to the point when we just start to make flags instead of horible seals. But it is a rad [flag](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/de/Flag_of_Ostergotland.svg/250px-Flag_of_Ostergotland.svg.png) Halland - Where did the iron go? Oh let me just iron on this seal to the [flag](https://flaggby.se/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/halland-flaggby.jpg) Småland - It means "small land". Hehe, oh sorry here is the [flag](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/25/Sm%C3%A5l%C3%A4ndska_flaggan_811.svg) Skåne - The only really good one... It's an ok [flag](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b0/Sk%C3%A5nska_flaggan.svg/1200px-Sk%C3%A5nska_flaggan.svg.png) I guess Gotland - I almost forgot about the island in the baltic sea. They have swell [flags](http://www.varldensflaggor.se/bilder/original/gotlands-flagga.png) Öland - Piggy backriding of Gotland's [flag](http://www.varldensflaggor.se/bilder/original/olands-flagga.png)? ​
