Notater vedrørende Skipper Klementes opstand og slaget ved Svendstrup mose. Afskrift efter Vendsyssel Aarbøger 1925 1933 - 1934

This is a page of handwritten notes by Niels Larsen Stevns, relating to Skipper Clement's revolt and the battle at Svendstrup Mose, transcribed from Vendsyssel Aarbøger in 1925. In the early 16th century, Denmark was in turmoil. The Protestant Reformation challenged the authority of the Catholic Church. Economic disparities fueled peasant uprisings, and figures like Skipper Clement emerged as leaders of popular resistance against the established order. Stevns seems to be researching this uprising, which challenged the social structures of its time. His focus was often on religious and historical subjects. In Denmark at the time, history painting served a public role by promoting national identity and moral values. To better understand this, one might consult archives, local historical societies, or collections of folklore. Art's meaning is contingent on its social and institutional context.
