Talk:Realm of Sweden

It would be really nice to see a map of the Realm of Sweden at its largest to better comprehend its vastness. - Quirk 13:15, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * I can't help questining the merit of this article. Even in Swedish, the term is at best extremely vague and hardly specific to anything except maybe historic aspects of Sweden that are specific to the rule of monarchs. It simply smacks of very old historical perceptions of history that aren't valid in Swedish, and certainly not for direct translation into an English article. Peter Isotalo 12:23, May 1, 2005 (UTC)

"Researchers from the 19th century have suggested that in the 9th century Svealand, which they claimed was the historical core region of Sweden, expanded southwards, conquering Gothia. Little is known however from this time and more contemporary researchers have suggested that Gothia might as well have been the core region, or the two region were joined through a union."

The recorded kings the first 400 years where all from either Västergötland or Östergötland and they divided the kingdom into the administrative unit of härad from Götaland and not hundare from Uppland. So Svealand probably conqured Götaland or ... the truth may be that Svealand didn't exist, it was just a name for the combined tribes of Sweden, Swedes. So the Göta where also Svea.
