Puukkojunkkari (original) (raw)
Puukkojunkkari ( Swedish: knivjunkare, translated to English as knife-fighter; literal translation: "knife junker") or häjy (Literal translation: "mean, wicked") was a term used of troublemakers who were active in the Southern Ostrobothnia region of Finland in the 19th century. Fights among puukkojunkkaris were common, and often resulted in death. Puukkojunkkaris usually made trouble at weddings, stole horses and circulated among towns and villages. They also participated in gambling and theft. The most notorious puukkojunkkaris lived in towns near the river, such as Alahärmä. The first homicides happened in the 1790s, but the infamous "golden age" of puukkojunkkaris lasted from the 1820s to the 1880s.

(en) Knivjunkare var de orosmakare som härjade i Södra Österbotten i slutet av 1700- och stora delar av 1800-talet. Bland knivjunkarna var slagsmål vanliga och det hände ofta att någon kunde bli knivstucken, till och med på begravningar. Knivjunkarna höll ofta på med hasardspel, stölder och nattlopp. Knivjunkarna härjade värst i Lappo ådals nedre del, såsom i Vörå, Kauhava, Ylihärmä och Alahärmä. Knivjunkarna kom från flera samhällsgrupper. Bland de dömda fanns bland annat bönder, såväl som drängar, torpare, soldater och egendomslösa. Bönder var ofta ledare för gängen. Knivjunkarna var vanligtvis fruktade, och slogs ofta för att sätta sig i respekt. Inget eller ingen fick rädas när "riktiga" män slogs. Det var ofta svårt att få knivjunkarna dömda eftersom få vågade vittna emot dem, många av de som vittnat försvann. Till de mest kända knivjunkarna hör Antti Isotalo, Antti Rannanjärvi, Jaakko Pukkila, Juha Antinpoika Leskenantti ("Ansin Jukka"). (sv) |
