"Well, to begin with, Håkansson family was given rights to rule the city by king Eric XIV himself - the reason for that is not stated anywhere, but there is a single statement of the King noted, that the reason was 'For their furthering my studies.'." She paused. "Through their rule, the family was noted to be eccentric, snobbish, proud and sometimes, bloody. The peasants generally feared them, and there were two major revolts against their rule, but both of them were crushed." Meja paused. "There are more historic data, but I will not bore you with it. As for their fall..." She looked at the notes. "They seemed to be somewhat tied to Carolus Rex, and were in his favour. But after his death, in better of two years, over 23 members of the house died in various ways. Mostly accidents, but some of them were murdered, one committed suicide. The remnants of the house, abandoned family manour and moved to the city proper, but never recovered the numbers. What is interesting, from this point on, there is not a single case of member of Håkansson dying of natural causes." She said as she looked through the papers. "That's how it looks in a nutshell."
