Local tradition had it still in the 18th century that a decisive battle against invading Sweden was held in Eura's Big Meadow ("Iso Niitty") in the Middle Ages. According to the story, there was blood up to man's ankles on the meadow. [Purhonen, Paula: "Kristinuskon saapumisesta Suomeen". 1998. ISBN 951-9057-31-5. See page 156.]
