The Swedish Revolution Under Gustavus Vasa
The Swedish Revolution Under Gustavus Vasa, published in 1889 by the Boston lawyer and historian Paul Barron Watson, tells how Sweden broke free of Danish rule in the early sixteenth century. Watson follows Gustavus Vasa from his childhood and first military adventures, through his imprisonment in Denmark and escape, his flight to the province of Dalarna and the uprising of the Dalesmen, to the war of independence and his election as king in 1523. He then describes the beginnings of the Reformation in Sweden, the religious discord and revolts that followed, dealings with foreign powers, and internal government, ending with the coronation of 1528. The narrative is clear and well documented. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
