@Glades12 äldste is a plurale tantum and can not be used in the singular as we can see by looking at adjectives; "De äldste var samlade.". "De äldste var samlad." clearly sounds incorrect to any native speaker. Note that -e here is the old masculine plural -e, like in "fiskarne" and not the masculine singular -e.
