Talk:Sten Sture the Elder

"During the Union of Kalmar"?

Isn't it somewhat bizarre to describe him as regent during the Union of Kalmar, when in fact the periods when he was regent, were the periods when the Union of Kalmar was not in existence?--Barend (talk) 14:13, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Moved the article

The article had been, unilaterally and without discussion, moved to "Steen Sture the Old". This was a bad move for several reasons: There was no explanation for the use of to 'e's in "Steen" - the whold article, and all sources I've seen, uses "Sten". Second, "the Old" is a more clumsy translation than "the Elder". I moved the article back.--Barend (talk) 07:40, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

"At the Battle of Brunkeberg in 1471, he triumphed against Swedish and Danish forces in the support of Christian I. "

This sentence needs clarification or correction. Sture was a Swede so why did he fight against Swedish forces? How could this action against Danish forces be in support of Christian I of Denmark? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lakeside789 (talk • contribs) 23:48, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Better do not use this pic to illustrate Brunkeberg 1471

1471 or 1501?

This picture is used in many wikipedias to illustrate the aftermath of the Battle at Brunkeberg 1471 or the Danish-Swedish war of 1470/71. In 1471 the victorous Sten Sture was around 20 or 21 years old. The Sten Sture in this picture, however, looks much older. More likely this picture illustrates Sten Stures welcome in Stockholm in 1501... thirty years later when he was around 50yo. --Roksanna (talk) 07:44, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
