Preface -- Though the history of the Swedish Reformation has attracted the attention of a few non-Swedish historians, there seems to be no extended account in English of the general history of Sweden in the sixteenth century.
I. Introduction: the end of the Union of Kalmar
On a broad inlet of Lake Mälar, in the very heart of central Sweden, lies the ancient town of Strängnäs: a cluster of somnolent streets; a few old houses; a famous gymnasium dating from the early seventeenth century; a modest cathedral crowning a little rise and looking out over the wooded shores and the wide expanse of water.
