Kimstad Mill

The mine owner Gabrielsson found the buckle about 13 metres downstrem of Limstad mill.

A possible reason for the buckle's finding site may have been that the person who lost it was persecuted, either by the person who owned the buckle or by someone who wanted it. Or possibly it was dropped in the dark, so that no one saw it. It may also have been a deliberate act to avoid others getting hold of it.

Karl (Bishop between 1306 and 1336), Petrus Torgilsson (1342-1351), Nils Marcusson (1352-1372), Gottskalk Falkdal (1373-1374), Nils Hermansson (1375-1391) and Knut Bosson (1391-1436).

Henrik Tidemansson was ordained Bishop in Linköping 1465.

The ruin recieved its name Henriksborg in the 1940's. No documents supports the assuption that the castle was commissioned by Bishop Henrik Tidemansson in Linköping.

The buckle might have belonged to the owner of Henriksborg.

Munkeboda Ruin

Munkeboda ruin is most likely the remains of a stone house from the 14th Century. It is not clear who had the house built, nor why it was built. The name Munkeboda is noted from 1373.

The buckle could have belonged to the owner of Munkeboda.

The monastery was active between the 12th and the 16th Century. The gold buckle might have belonged to a priest or an abbess.
