No this post isn't about Darin. No matter how morbid he makes me feel. It's about the DNA testing of seven people buried in Riddharholmskyrkan. The testing is to establish their relation to Birger Jarl. He's been dead for close to 800 years, but appearantly being related to him is so important that ... Nevermind, let me unwind. He's the father of Magnus Ladulås so I guess that's why it matters. Why it matters I don't know really. Must we be opening graves up? I mean it obviously takes very long to be buried in Sweden, and then we have to be dug up again because of those exceptional things we did. How do you feel about that Moder Svea?
They're also going to open Karl XII's sarcophagus to examine the bullet that killed him. So much for the honor of Sweden's warrior king. Do they say "rest in peace" because the body is still there, in the ground somewhere to help rest the minds of those who still have questions about the past?
