Once upon a time, there lived a fisherman was in Bishop of Strängnäs' service at the castle of Tynnelsö. On an especially beautiful day the fisherman caught an enormous salmon, which he wanted to keep all for hismself. Therefore, he decided to flee across the islands of Lake Mälaren and he ended up on an island at the outlet of the big lake—thus becoming Stockholm's first inhabitant. This popular story about the salmon fisher is one of many legends of how Stockholm came to be founded. With regards to the name Stockholm, there is another known tale that goes as follows: when the town Sigtuna was destroyed by the Estonians, the citizens hid their things of great value in a hollow log and threw it in lake Mälaren. The log (called stock in Swedish) floated ashore at the island (holm) in question, and the homeless Sigtuna citizens thought this was the perfect place to settle down.
