I have made an almost complete rewrite of this page, adding some new information and restructured and expanded quite a lot. Feel free to revert it if you dont like it. Maybe I will do some more work on it in the future... Any help is always welcome.

I find several Wikipedia pages giving rather divergent versions of the same events. Can somebody with a good knowlege of Swedish history try to harmonise them a bit? Adam Keller 21:37, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
Page:Nils Dacke
After this defeat the rebellion was all but over and Dacke became anoutlaw. He was shot and killed in1543 on the border between the two nowadays southern Swedish provinces Sm?land andBlekinge, then a border between Sweden and Denmark, while trying to escape from the king's mercenaries. Even though Dacke was not executed, his body was dismembered and the parts were sent for public display in larger communities that had supported him during the rebellion. Gustav Vasa ordered the annihilation of Dacke's entire family, but was milder against those who had given themselves up. Thus, the unity of the realm was restored.

Dacke's forces were beaten and Dacke himself was wounded. The same year in August he was surrounded and shot inR?dby inBlekinge. Gustav Vasa carried through harsh punishments for the uprising. Dacke's home district was plundered and all his family members were executed or deported.

Nils was eventually betrayed by his own relatives, caught, and quartered; it is said that his body parts were displayed througout Sweden as a warning to other would-be rebels.
