THE EXECUTION

 

The execution took place on 12 January 1830. Björn Blöndal had ordered all the farmers in the vicinity to attend and, if they could not come themselves, they were to send someone in their stead. About one hundred and forty farmers stood in three large circles around the execution platform.
