Military history

Hedemora town was gathering place for the peasant militia during the Swedish War of Liberation against Denmark. In the victorious Battle of Brunnbäck Ferry in 1521, Peder Svensson from the village ofVibberboda in present day Hedemora Municipality was one of the two leaders (the other was Olof Bonde from Norrbärke in today's Smedjebacken Municipality).

During the allotment system, the Colonel's Company of Dalarna Regiment had its recruitment area in Hedemora and Husby parishes. The colonels of the regiment had their seat at Husby during this period at Näs kungsgård and Husby kungsgård.[3] [4]
