Abstract

The men who died aboard the I Kronan i closely resembled modern Swedes and showed strong similarities to the people of Sandby Borg, suggesting Viking Age immigration from the British Isles and eastern Baltic didn't leave much of a mark on Scandinavians' genetic profile. Slaughter of men, women, and infants paints a "before" picture of population movements into Scandinavia It was one of the most brutal massacres of Scandinavia's pre-Viking age.
