Fun fact, Birger Jarl, growing tired of carrying Valdemar’s reign constantly, decided to become a famous actor and changed his name to Willem Dafoe, 714 years after faking his death

To the left is a recreation of how Birger Jarl, a man of great importance in Swedish history, looked like. To the right is famous american actor, Willem Dafoe, who had his first acting role in 1980, 714 years after Birger Jarl’s death.

Did he really meet Alexander Nevsky? Russian sources in the 16th century say that they met, but there is not a single source that this is not bullshit. In russia there is some second-rate actor named Alexander Kuritsyn, who calls himself “Nevsky”. Maybe they should at least meet and smile for the camera, so that russian historians do not look like fools?
