King Erik sits in his royal palace: the sun
shines, but not into the King’s heart. Niels
Sture enters the chamber with an answer of
consent from the royal bride, and the King
shakes him by the hand, making fair promises
– and the following evening Niels Sture is a
prisoner in Upsala Palace.

King Erik’s gloomy mind is disturbed; he
has no rest; he has no peace, between fear and
distrust. He hurries away to Upsala Palace;
he will make all straight and just again by
marrying Niels Sture’s sister. Kneeling, he
begs her imprisoned father’s consent, and
obtains it; but in the very moment, the spirit
of distrust is again upon him, and he cries in
his insanity:

"But you will not forgive me the shame I
brought on Niels!"

At the same time, Goran Persson announced
that King Erik’s brother, John, had escaped
from his prison, and that a revolt was breaking
out. And Erik ran, with a sharp dagger into
Niels Sture’s prison.
