Skogekär Bärgbo

Skogekär Bärgbo, “the friend of the forests who dwells on the mountain”, is the pseudonym of a seventeenth-century Swedish poet, under which appeared between 1658 and 1682 a verse plea for the Swedish language and two books of love poetry. Accounts from the end of the century named the jurist and courtier Gustaf Rosenhane; Johan Nordström proposed in 1917 his elder brother, the diplomat Schering Rosenhane, and manuscripts presented in 2023 by the Latinist Anna Blennow have made the latter, for several specialists, the most likely candidate. The attribution remains disputed.
