The Riksdag (Swedish: “Day of the Realm”),…

1435 CE

The Riksdag (Swedish: “Day of the Realm”), the Swedish states general that first meets formally in 1435, is unique in Europe because it includes the peasantry as the fourth state.

The Swedish council declares Engelbrektsson Sweden’s administrator, while Erik simultaneously negotiates with Swedish nobles to restabilize the union and gain control of his endangered throne.

Although Erik has promised to respect Sweden's constitutional rights, it shortly becomes clear that he has acted in bad faith.
