Arvid Kurck

Kurck is considered to be the last truly Catholic bishop of Finland before his successors started to hesitantly promote the Reformation.

In 1520 Kurck survived the Stockholm Bloodbath as he did not visit the coronation of Christian II.

As the rebellions were defeated, Kurck fled to Sweden and was drowned in a shipwreck near the town of Öregrund.
