This diocese, covering a territory better known then and now as Finland, encompassed the Swedish kingdom east of the Gulf of Bothnia. The Reformation in Finland was driven by King Gustav Vasa's state-building program, sometimes referred to as "royal reform" in respect to the church, as well as the spread of Lutheran theology and practice. Both royal and Lutheran reform were mutually reinforcing and dependent upon one another.Studies in Medieval and Reformation Traditions210.ReformationFinlandFinlandChurch history16th centuryFinlandHistory1523-1611SwedenHistoryGustav I Vasa, 1523-1560Reformation274.897/06Lavery Jason Edward1488003NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910796513803321Reforming Finland3708163UNINA
