Svend poulsen and ib abelsøn wants to help the women with getting a group of soldiers out of høfdingsgaard. But then wentzel appear from behind after robbing a farmer. The stolen sheep doesn't like to ride in that way though. Svend poulsen (app. 1610 - app. 1679) was real a person but the story is fiction. The look of svend poulsen is also fantasy as there is no known portraits of him. Date: Original illustration from the 1890s, here reprint from 1909..
