136. Life in the 1600s, Part One
Episode 143
Saturday, 5 September, 2026

It is time for the first part of our look into everyday life in the 1600s. We look at religion, guilds, paying (and avoiding) tax, and how the recent reforms in Sweden were changing the relationship people had with the state and church. Come back for part two next time!
