The plague had arrived in Stockholm on…
August 1710 CE
The health commission (Collegium Medicum) denies until August 29 that it is indeed the plague, despite buboes being visible on the bodies of victims from the ship and in the town.
The plague will rage in Stockholm until 1711, affecting primarily women (45.3% of the dead) and children (38.7% of the dead) in the poorer quarters outside the Old Town.
About twenty-two thousand of Stockholm's approximately fifty-five thousand inhabitants will not survive the plague.
