Sweden, Inc
In his 1585 treatise Pro lege, rege et grege, then-Royal Chancellor Erik Sparre (1550–1600) sought to conceptualize a novel relationship between the king, the crown of the realm, and the people of Sweden. Sparre saw the council of the realm, the body of which he was a member, as the keystone locking together the relationship of all these political subjects, and thus the ultimate protector of the interests of the crown. In order to clearly separat…
Trade and Civilisation
This book provides the first global analysis of the relationship between trade and civilisation from the beginning of civilisation 3000 BC until the modern era 1600 AD. Encompassing the various networks including the Silk Road, the Indian Ocean trade, Near Eastern family traders of the Bronze Age, and the Medieval Hanseatic League, it examines the role of the individual merchant, the products of trade, the role of the state, and the technical con…
Feudalism
"This up-to-date discussion takes as its starting point the challenge to the traditional notion of feudalism in the twenty-five years since the publication of Jean-Pierre Poly and Eric Bournazel's work on the 'mutation féodale' and Susan Reynolds's attack on the very idea of a feudal society in the Middle Ages. While these challenges have presented a new picture of Western Europe in the so-called feudal age, one more focused than the traditional …
The kingdom of Sweden
The archaeological evidence for the Late Iron Age (c. 600–1100) is rich in Sweden, particularly in central Sweden, around Lake Mälaren. A characteristic burial tradition evolved here in the Late Iron Age, with one or several burial grounds attached to every prehistoric settlement. These burial grounds have been preserved to a large extent because they were on barren land close to the settlements and not on arable land. The burials consist of both…

The transformation was carried out and promoted by indigenous elites and entailed the establishment of a Christian monarchy. Christianization meant gradual assimilation to the wider cultural context The clergy and the ecclesiastical organizations introduced new economic and cultural institutions as well as new concepts. All this to…

Kings and provinces in Sweden
The core of the medieval kingdom comprised its two main regions, Svealand and Götaland. Kings who, in the course of the eleventh and twelfth centuries, gained some degree of control over these regions, also began to bring peripheral regions under their authority. Before AD 1000, kings of the Svear were associated with the Lake Mölaren region. For the kings of Svear and Götar, there were great difficulties in maintaining royal rule over both Sveal…
Law and the Making of the State in Medieval Sweden
Scandinavia, and Sweden in particular, entered the world of medieval European culture and its state system late. Until the twelfth century the political structure was very primitive and based upon pillage, plunder, and the taking of tributes, both at home and abroad. Power was unstable and belonged to local chiefs, petty kings, and warlords. However, the political culture and the pillage economy of the Viking age faded away during the eleventh an…
