Nice... more accurately, the Swedes laid claim to being the "true" Goths as they conquered the kingdom of the Geats. The Spaniards accused the Swedes as being "stay-at-home" Goths and claimed they were descended from the heroic adventuring Visigoths. Your question.
first part of your question was easy - Göteburg etc. , but the second part ...

In XVI-XVII century one of the most powerful combat unit was Polish Cavalry . Finally Swedes invented something similar and sent finnish farmers on their heavy plough- horses to combat . What was the name of this unit and it´s warriors ?
Extra points for translation / meaning of the name .

Perhaps the hussar "Livregementets husarer" unit?
Just to take a "poke" at it..... "landsfana"
ok , one little hint - the name has been translated as ´Let´s get it on !´ , ´Hack on !´ , ´Hit on !´ or usually ´Cut´em down !´
