(John), archbishop of Upsal, was born at Linköping in 1458. Being made apostolic nuncio, he used his utmost endeavours to prevent Gustavus Vasa from becoming king of Sweden, and the introduction of Lutheranism into his dominions; and spared no means to attain these ends. He died at Rome in 1545. He wrote a history of Sweden, and a history of the archbishops and bishops of Upsal.
(Olaus), archbishop of Upsal in Sweden, succeeded his brother John Magnus in 1544. He appeared with great credit at the council of Trent in 1546, and suffered much afterward for the Catholic religion. We have of his writing, A History of the Manners, Customs, and Wars of the Northern Nations of Europe.
