John, duke of Finland, seeks a foothold in the east.
Contrary to King Eric’s wishes, his half brother had signed a treaty in 1561 with Sigismund II, king of Poland, agreeing to marry the king's youngest daughter by Bona Sforza, Catherine Jagellon.
Married on October 4, 1562, in the Lower Castle of Vilnius, Lithuania, the newlyweds set up house in Turku Castle, establishing a Renaissance court here.
