Kingship and state formation in Sweden, 1130-1290

"Kingship and State Formation in Sweden covers, for the first time in English, a key period in the consolidation of the Swedish state. The book begins with an overview of Sweden prior to the twelfth century and a reign by reign history of the period 1130-1290. Developments in Sweden are placed firmly within their European context, and the volume will be of interest to all those with an interest in medieval politics in general as well as students of early Swedish or Scandinavian history."--Jacket
