Swedish Crusade, Second

Years: 1249 - 1250

The Second Swedish Crusade is a semi-historical Swedish military expedition to Finland by Birger jarl in the 13th century.

As a result of the crusade, Finland becomes permanently part of Sweden for the next 550 years.

"History never repeats itself, but the Kaleidoscopic combinations of the pictured present often seem to be constructed out of the broken fragments of antique legends."

― Mark Twain, The Gilded Age (1874)
