Thanks again friends. Mark, it seems that AA thread ended up the same way this one did -- with little in the way of direct evidence, they had to rely on inference from either elsewhere in contemporary Europe or later in Sweden, and even then didn't arrive at any firm conclusions. I suppose this task will require the skills of a professional historian, one with access to primary sources and archives. Till then I suppose my MRL gambeson is a reasonable choice of costume, though with forecasts in the 90s for tomorrow's Renaissance Faire I may opt for something entirely different and shirtless.

Swedish noble families tended to use only a few male names which makes it hard to keep them apart without the patronymic. |
The Swedish peasant in this image from Paul Dolnstein's sketchbook is wearing a sword similar to the one you posted, Ruel. This peasant was fighting in a rebellion led by Svante Nilsson Sture's predecessor, Sten Sture the Elder.

Thanks Danielle. If you look above, you'll see we discussed this drawing earlier, especially regarding the curious tucking of the sword into the waist -- something that looks awfully inconvenient for both unsheathing the sword itself and handling the polearm. I'm still baffled by it.
