Set in the 14th century, Birger, Arn's grandson, has consolidated his power with a brutality that has impacted his contemporaries. His laws, which protect the inviolability of the home, the church, and women, will become the norm of the kingdom for six centuries. Birger Jarl, as he is known, is remembered as the founder of Stockholm and the unifier of Sweden. However, his story is much more complex: a leader who did not stop at moral or practical obstacles to become the great lord of West Götaland and, finally, the founder of the kingdom. 'The Heritage of Gothia' is a chivalry novel that tells a story of lost love, a high price paid for power.
