Is there a link to a narrative here? I'm a bit new to Wikipedia so I'm not sure. If not, I can probably expand the article given time to collect some materials. Let me know.

Forget what I just said. I've found a good link to modern Swedish history from this page. Thanks Simon
I am not sure Gustav was succeeded by his son John in Finland. Even if John was duke in Finland, it still belonged to Sweden and the Swedish king, John´s brother Erik XIV. Dan Koehl 09:18 1 Jul 2003 (UTC)
The king's primarily known as Gustav Vasa. BL 19:50, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)
Yes, but wasn't the former name of the article ("Gustav I of Sweden") in accordance with some Wikipolicy on names on monarchs? /Tuomas 12:20, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
This should be under Gustav I of Sweden - all other variants (including Gustav Vasa) should be taken care of with redirs. 62.78.106.159 21:07, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Divergent versions of Nils Dacke's end
I find several Wikipedia pages giving rather divergent versions of the same events. Can somebody with a good knowlege of Swedish history try to harmonise them a bit? Adam Keller 21:37, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
Page: Nils Dacke
After this defeat the rebellion was all but over and Dacke became an outlaw. He was shot and killed in 1543 on the border between the two nowadays southern Swedish provinces Sm?land and Blekinge, then a border between Sweden and Denmark, while trying to escape from the king's mercenaries. Even though Dacke was not executed, his body was dismembered and the parts were sent for public display in larger communities that had supported him during the rebellion. Gustav Vasa ordered the annihilation of Dacke's entire family, but was milder against those who had given themselves up. Thus, the unity of the realm was restored.
Page: Dacke War
Dacke's forces were beaten and Dacke himself was wounded. The same year in August he was surrounded and shot in R?dby in Blekinge. Gustav Vasa carried through harsh punishments for the uprising. Dacke's home district was plundered and all his family members were executed or deported.

Nils was eventually betrayed by his own relatives, caught, and quartered; it is said that his body parts were displayed througout Sweden as a warning to other would-be rebels.
Page: Smaland
Dacke himself was shot while trying to escape to then-Danish Blekinge.
[edit] The aid from the Hansa?
I thought that one of the resons for lutheranizing Sweden was to be able to confiscate all church bells which were melted down as payment for the Hansa's aid in defeating the Danes.
