Sevede

Sevede is a hilly district of northeastern Småland, with many lakes among its woods. The old folkland extended from the interior towards the coast and the harbour of Figeholm. Vimmerby, near the upper course of the Stångån, was its principal settlement and the meeting place of the hundred court. The later hundred included parishes such as Rumskulla, Vimmerby, Pelarne and Södra Vi, whose inhabitants gathered at the court to settle local affairs.
