Christer Sfeir wrote that Antonius served among Gustav Vasa's retainers in 1527 and carried a halberd. According to Sfeir, he was referred to in the documents as Antonius Blåman, where Blåman was an older term for a dark-skinned man. Sfeir stated that Antonius was still serving in the king's life regiment in 1540, but there was a lack of information about his origin, when he died, where he went, or where he was buried. Almost 500 years later, according to Sfeir, only his name and a few lines in history remained. #Historia #Sverige #Reformationen (translated)
