Mystery of American who woke up speaking Swedish is solved- by a medieval re-enactment society

Society for Creative Anachronism knew him as Strongbow from the group's jousting team



A medieval re-enactment society in Sweden claims to have solved the mystery of an American who awoke in a California motel room earlier this year insisting his name was Johan Ek and communicating only in Swedish, despite an ID card naming him as US-born Michael Boatwright.


Members of the Swedish branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism, however, knew him by yet another name: Strongbow, a keen participant of the group's jousting team.
