Maria Romberg [SEP] convicted of
Maria Romberg
Maria Romberg (1697 – 14 April 1725) was a Swedish convicted murderer, the central person in a murder history well known in her time. She was convicted along with her three accomplices, among them her lover, for the death of her husband.
Background.
In 1716, at the age of 19, Maria Romberg was arranged to marry merchant Anders Broberg, 27 years her senior, in Borås, against her will. Broberg was said to abuse Maria; he was called brutal and Maria
brought before an Allied military court to explain apparently incriminating evidence against him. This gives him a chance to recount what really happened during the war years.
