Movies and TvShows featuring "year-1520" theme.

In 1520, the notorious and power-hungry Danish King Christian II is determined to seize the Swedish crown from Sten Sture, no matter what it takes. Meanwhile, sisters Freja and Anne make a solemn promise to seek revenge on the men who brutally murdered their family. Everything comes to a head in the heart of Stockholm, where the sisters are drawn into a ruthless political struggle between Sweden and Denmark that culminates in a mass execution, presided over by the mad King "Christian the Tyrant," known as the Stockholm Bloodbath.

Shadow of the Sword is set in 16th-century Tyrol, where a heretic monk becomes the target of religious persecution. He fights against the injustice, facing torture, book burnings, and being accused of witchcraft. The film explores themes of faith, betrayal, and self-sacrifice, as the protagonist struggles to survive in a time of religious fanaticism.

Stockholm's Bloodbath of 1520 is one of the most dramatic moments in the entire history of the Nordic countries. But what really happened? How could a hundred people be executed in the middle of Stockholm? In this two part documentary, historians Bo Eriksson and Anna Maria Forsberg will reveal the reasons behind the massacre.
