Re:Vasa's sister ship Äpplet found by rags2riches on Tuesday October 25, 2022 @06:03PM (#33336738)
Gustav was known as "Gustav Eriksson" in his day, "Eriksson" being a patronym. Family names wasn't really a thing at the time, as coat of arms were. The form "Gustav Eriksson Vasa" first appears in the 17th century and simply "Gustav Vasa" isn't used before the 18th.
