The so-called "Swedish crosses" are memorial crosses in memory of people killed as victims of the troops who roamed the country and often marauded (plundered) during those warlike times (first half of the 17th century). In the strictest sense of the word definition, however, they are not "atonement crosses" because such crosses were to be erected by the perpetrators - as part of the atonement (penance) for their crime - whereas memorial crosses were erected by people from the victim's immediate environment (often family members, possibly friends or neighbors).
