Who was Uno Röndahl?

Uno Röndahl was a Swedish police officer and author. Uno Röndahl’s writings centered on the Scanian history and especially the war events taking place in the province of Skåne and in particular in the border areas between contemporary Danish Skåne/Blekinge and Swedish Småland during the period 1645-1720.

Uno Röndahl was born in Näsum in Villand. His career began in the Swedish Navy and then he became a policeman in Stockholm. Already during childhood, his interest for the history of Scania was awakened. During his time in Stockholm he enjoyed rich opportunities to visit museums, libraries and archives. This interest followed him when he later took over as a police detective in the city of Kristianstad. With research methods similar to that of a detective’s persistent curiosity, he supplemented his history knowledge by for many years going through old documents and archives not only in Kristianstad and the university city of Lund but also in the National Archives in Copenhagen.

The results often gave a very brutal picture of the war events during this period, particularly in the border regions between Sweden and Denmark in North-Eastern Scania. On an almost chocking way, he highlighted the difficult living conditions and suffering of the contemporary civilian population. By means of his books he was able to spread a more nuanced picture of the region's history and the daily life of the people of the era.
