THE CAROLEAN DEATH MARCH The Swedish king, King Karl XII was dead and the Jämtland army retreating back to Sweden after the attempted siege of Trondheim. The route home took them across the Sylarnafjällen massif. For some 3 000 soldiers the four month campaign ended at New Year 1718–19. The snowstorm took their lives. This is the story of the campaign. Why the attack on Trondheim? What happened in the Norwegian countryside when 10 000 Swedish soldiers needed provisions? What happened to the soldiers who actually survived? Here is the story about Armfeldt’s Caroleans.
