context: The founding of the city of Lappeenranta was presented by Johan Rosenhane, then governor of Vyborg and Savonlinna Province, in 1649, and in the same year Lappeenranta received city rights from Queen Kristina, who, when signing the founding act, gave the town a seal. As a result, the town's Swedish name was Villmanstrand. [5] The actual proclamation of the city was made by Governor-General Peter Brahe. Lappeenranta was founded as a country town. The bourgeois of the city were allowed to trade with other rural and staple towns, such as Vyborg. They did not have permission for direct foreign trade.
