politician

Sten Sture den äldre was a prominent Swedish statesman who served as the regent of Sweden during the late 15th century. He played a significant role in the power struggles of the time and is noted for his ownership of a large clinker-built ship. His name was recently mentioned in connection with the 'Vrak 5' shipwreck, as archaeologists, led by Håkan Altrock, speculate that this ship may have belonged to him, linking it to his historical context and activities.
