Image Almarest ket.png right 220px Unreferenced date September 2008 Almarest ket , or St ket , is a strait at the inlet of M laren Lake M laren in mid east Sweden. A fortress existed there between about 1370 and 1517, also named Almarest ket. A place mentioned as Stocksund by Old Norse author Snorre Sturlasson was once believed to be located here, but is now believed to have been located in Norrstr m , 2 km to the west. The strait was of importance before Stockholm was founded in the 14th century, as it guarded the waterway to the significant Swedish medieval cities Uppsala and Sigtuna . For instance, an attack on Sigtuna by Baltic region Baltic Vikings in 1187 led to a battle at Almarest ket, resulting in the death of Archbishop Johannes archbishop of Uppsala Johannes . Fortress There was a fortress built here in the late 14th century, under the reign of Albert of Sweden . It was located on the small island St kes n in the middle of the strait. It became the residence of the Swedish Archbishop until 1517, when the Archbishop Gustav Trolle locked himself in there to avoid trial, and the government demanded the immediate demolition of the fortress. The procedure was formally unauthorized because at the time State property was to be separate from Church property. As a revenge for this and other perceived injustices, Trolle, assisted by the Danish King Christian II of Denmark Christian II , took revenge in the Stockholm Bloodbath of 1520. Image Suecia Almarest ket.jpg center thumb 400px Almarest ket circa 1700, in Suecia antiqua et hodierna .
