I have profited hugely from the expertise, generosity and enthusiasm of my supervisor, Professor Olle Ferm. The constructive critique, discipline and patience of my secondary supervisor Fil. Dr. Bo Persson have been equally important for carrying this work to an end. Towards the final stage of the project I had the added benefit of comments and suggestions from Professor Eva Odelman and Assoc. Professor Carsten Selch Jensen. I am grateful to all of the above, whose input I have tried to, but, I am sure, not fully managed to do justice. The Department of History at Stockholm University generously provided most of the means required for the fulfilment of this project. I am thankful not the least for the warmth and efficiency of its administrative staff. The positive impact on my work from colleagues, some of whom I like to call my friends, also is hard to overrate. In that respect, I wish to express my thanks to Fil. Kand. Mats Berglund. In addition, Stockholm has been the hub of a family support that I have had many occasions in these last years to appreciate. From the onset of this project, however, my supervisor emphasized that medieval history is best not exercised as a national discipline. I tried to heed this suggestion by way of academic stays abroad. A mobility grant from NordForsk made possible a stay at The Danish National Research Foundation: Centre for the Study of the Cultural Heritage of Medieval Rituals in Copenhagen. Another grant, provided by The Swedish Foundation for International Cooperation in Research and Higher Education, enabled a stay at the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität in Münster. Both of these stays proved of great value, scholarly as well as on a personal level, and I wish to express my gratitude both to the donors and to the members of these institutions that so generously received me as their guest. The C.M. Lerici foundation, the Fondazione Famiglia Rausing, and Jubileumsdonationen Knut och Alice Wallenbergs Stiftelse provided additional travel grants. Grants from Svea Orden and Helge Ax:son Johnsons stiftelse made it possible to conclude the work. Intermittently I have worked on this project at Trinity College Dublin. I am grateful for the kind reception I have received from members of that university. Dr Susan Foran has been an invaluable discussion partner throughout much of this work. I have benefited, not the least, from her patient suggestions regarding English usage. I dedicate this thesis to her. Copenhagen, November 2007 Biörn Tjällén 7 Introduction The Chronica regni Gothorum or Chronicle of the realm of the Goths is the first Swedish national history in Latin prose. It was completed after 1471 by a member of the Uppsala cathedral chapter, Ericus Olai, who, arguably, intended his work primarily for the readership of his own arch see. Ericus professed to compile a history of the Swedish realm from the birth of Christ until

  • Scandinavia - First Known Map
    Scandinavia - First Known Map This image depicts an early map of Scandinavia - the origination place for many invaders of Rome's former province of Britannia (the country we know as Britain). About a thousand years after Scandinavians and Saxons began their invasions of Britain, Olaus Magnus (1490-1557) started work on his famous Carta Marina (Map of the Sea). It is the first-known map of the Nordic countries depicting them (and their surroundings) in interesting detail. It took twelve years to complete. The first copies of the now-famous map were printed in Venice during 1539. For many years, although people talked about the map, it seemed that the map stories were just stories. Then ... a copy turned-up in Munich, during 1886. Another copy, which was located in Switzerland during 1962, is now maintained at Carolina Rediviva (Uppsala University Library) in Uppsala, Sweden. Olaus Magnus, who was a Catholic Archbishop, understood Latin. He translated the map’s Latin notes into Italian and German. To learn more about the map, and to see many more woodcuts depicting Scandinavian scenes and culture, check-out Olaus’ monumental Historia de gentibus septentrionalibus ("History of the Northern People") printed in Rome during 1555.

  • Erwin Panofsky
    Reprinted from DE ARTIBUS OPUSCULA XL ESSAYS IN HONOR OF ERWIN PANOFSKY Edited l!J M I L LA RD M EIS S New York University Press • I90r Saint Bridget of Sweden As Represented in Illuminated Manuscripts CARL NORDENFALK When faced with the task of choosing an appropriate subject for a paper to be published in honor of Erwin Panofsky most contributors must have felt themselves confronted by an embarras de richesse. There are few main problems in the history of Western art, from the age of manuscripts to the age of movies, which have not received the benefit of Pan's learned, pointed, and playful pen. From this point of view, therefore, almost any subject would provide a suitable opportunity for building on foundations already laid by him to whom we all wish to pay homage. The task becomes at once more difficult if, in addition to this, more specific aims are to be considered. A Swede, for instance, wishing to see the art and culture of his own country play apart in this work, the association with which is itself an honor, would first of all have to ask himself if anything within his own national field of vision would have a meaning in this truly international context. From sight-seeing in the company of Erwin Panofsky during his memorable visit to Sweden in 1952 I recall some monuments and works of art in our country in which he took an enthusiastic interest and pleasure.' But considering them as illustrations for this volume, I have to realize that they are not of the international standard appropriate for such a concourse of contributors and readers from two continents.

  • Armorial of Swedish Commoners (A-C)
    1 Armorial of Swedish Commoners (A-C) INTRODUCTION: From 1600 - and 1700s encountered very often commoner weapons in the seal which belonged to the clergy, military officers, government officials, civil servants, citizens and the like. Most often, the so-called Commoners gentry, but weapons also exist among farmers. The amount of weapons is exuberant and for the most part unexplored. Only random (two or three journal articles) have the immense cultural treasure of the elderly Gentile family crest been featured in the literature, so here below are the archives of the findings in this manner are brought together to facilitate research and increase knowledge of these weapons existence. Unless otherwise indicated, the evidence made by me in connection with various heraldic and genealogical investigations. Most often, the source of a wax seal impressions, because the seals often were engraved with the family crest. With little genealogy is a great probability that in a specific family can seek out the seal in such letters, accounts, documents received, estate inventories ... Many of the following families are extinct, but in the event that a family survive as the weapon can always come back into favor. As a rule, tinctures (colors) unknown, why they need to be reconstructed. Read more about the so-called heraldisering. Weapons withdrawn into service transferred from this list to the list. Some Sigill owners belong to foreign-derived noble families or patriciersläkter whose possible noble status is unclear. For the sake of clarification are part of such weapons in this list, ie those weapons that are not readily available in the literature.

    S P E C I A L I Z E D A G E N C I E S TOWARDS THE KALMAR UNION Dear Delegates, Welcome to the 31st Annual North American Model United Nations 2016 at the University of Toronto! On behalf of all of the staff at NAMUN, we welcome you to the Specialized Agency branch of the conference. I, and the rest of the committee staff are thrilled to have you be a delegate in Scandinavia during the High Middle Ages, taking on this challenging yet fascinating topic on the futures of the three Scandinavian Kingdoms in a time of despair, poverty, dependence and competitiveness. This will truly be a new committee experience, as you must really delve into the history of these Kingdoms and figure out how to cooperate with each other without sending everyone into their demise. To begin, in the Towards the Kalmar Union Specialized Agency, delegates will represent influential characters from Denmark, Norway and Sweden, which include prominent knights, monarchs, nobles, and important religious figures who dominate the political, military and economic scenes of their respective Kingdoms. The impending issues that will be discussed at the meeting in Kalmar, Sweden include the future of the Danish and Norwegian crowns after the death of the sole heir to the thrones, Olaf II. Here, two distant relatives to Valdemar IV have a claim to the throne and delegates will need to decide who will succeed to the throne. The second order of business is to discuss the growing German presence in Sweden, especially in major economic cities.

  • Clothing, Memory and Identity in 16Th Century Swedish Funerary Practice
    Joseph M. Gonzalez 6 Fashioning Death: Clothing, Memory and Identity in 16th Century Swedish Funerary Practice Introduction King Gustav Vasa was married three times. In 1531, less than a decade after his election as King of Sweden, he made a match calculated to boost his prestige and help consolidate his position as king and married Katarina von Sax-Lauenburg, the daughter of Duke Magnus and a relative of the emperor. She bore the king one son, Erik, and died suddenly in 1535 (Svalenius, 1992). After her death, the king married the daughter of one of the most powerful noble houses in Sweden, Margareta Eriksdotter Leijonhufvud in 1536. Queen Margareta bore the king eight children before she died in 1551. By August of 1552, the fifty-six year old Gustav Vasa had found a new queen, the 16-year-old Katarina Gustavsdotter Stenbock, daughter of another of Sweden’s leading noble houses. Despite the youth of his bride, the marriage bore no children and the old king died eight years later (Svalenius, 1992). The king’s death occasioned a funeral of unprecedented magnificence that was unique both in its scale and in its promotion of the Vasa dynasty’s image and interests. Unique to Vasa’s funeral was the literal incorporation of the bodies of his two deceased wives in the ceremony. They shared his bed-like hearse on the long road to Uppsala and the single copper casket that was interred in the cathedral crypt. Six months after the funeral, Gustav Vasa’s son with Katarina von Sax-Lauenburg, Erik, was crowned king.
