_Wisby_ (Vol. ii., p. 444.).--
"Wisby was fortified about 1200 against its country neighbours; and
King Magnus, 1288, quieted another civil war, and allowed the citizens
to restore their fallen walls."--_Olaus Magnus_, ii. 24.
"It was destroyed in 1361 (Koch) by Walderna, King of Denmark, who,
taking advantage of the discords in Sweden, and having flattered the
King Magnus till he made him a mere tool of his own, conquered or
destroyed some valuable parts of the Swedish dominions, and among the
rest Gothland."--_Johannes Magnus, Rex Suev._, xxi. 6.
and in 7.:
"... ob direptum insigne emporium Vis becense."
"As, therefore, it was not an individual event, probably it had not any
individual cause, and that the pane of glass story is not
true."--_Olaus Magnus_, x. 16
The same Olaus (ii. 24.) says, that pride and discord were its ruin; that
its inhabitants scattered into the continental cities; and that in his
time, 1545, there were splendid ruins, iron doors, brass or copper windows,
once gilt or silvered.
