battle of mästerby

650 years ago Gotland was traumatised. A Danish army, consisting of knights and professional soldiers invaded Gotland, and the peasants of the island gathered to resist the invaders. Thousands of them were slain. The project Battle of Wisby honored the fallen and their sacrifice for freedom by reenacting the battle and putting up a big military camp outside the walls of Wisby. This film is an edited version of the reenactment of the first battle at Mästerby on the 11th August 2011.
