Sweden, Kingdom of
Swedish pre-history ends around 800 CE, when the Viking Age begins and written sources are available.
The Viking Age lasts until the mid-11th century, when the Christianization of Scandinavia is largely completed.
The period 1050 to 1350 — when the Black Death struck Europe — is considered the Older Middle Ages.
The period 1350 to 1523 — when king Gustav Vasa, who leads the unification of Sweden, is crowned — is considered the Younger Middle Ages.
During this period, Sweden is gradually consolidated as a single nation.
Scandinavia is formally Christianized by 1100.
The Kalmar Union between the Scandinavian countries is established in 1389 and lasts until Gustav Vasa ends it upon seizing power.
