  SWEDEN - LoveToKnow Article on SWEDEN   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Sweden itself may be considered in four main physical divisionsthe mountains and highland district, covering all Norrland and the western part of Svealand; the lowlands of central Sweden; the so-called Smland highlands, in the south and southeast; and the plains of Skne, occupying the extreme southward projection of the peninsula.
In Sweden, however, both the Vestgotar and the Upland Sviar were discontented, the former on account of the breaking of the kings promise to Olaf of Norway and the latter on account of the introduction of the new religion, and their passions were further inflamed by the lawman Anund of Skara.
Sweden was also to enjoy her religion, subject to such changes as a general council might make; but neither pope nor council was to claim or exercise the right of releasing Sigismund from his obligations to his Swedish subjects.

 Astrid of Sweden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Astrid of Sweden, Astrid Sofia Lovisa Thyra (November 17, 1905 - August 29, 1935) was the Queen consort of Léopold III of the Belgians.
Swedish Royalty was far less formal than those of middle Europe and at Stuyvenberg, not far away from the King's Laeken Palace, Astrid tried to live as ordinary a life as possible, taking care of her children.
On August 29, 1935, while she and her husband were driving along the winding, narrow roads near their villa at Küssnacht am Rigi, Schwyz, Switzerland on the shores of Lake Lucerne, Léopold lost control of the vehicle and the car plunged down a ravine, killing Queen Astrid.

 Contemporary Jewish Writing in Sweden -- Introduction
Sweden has remained neutral in all conflagrations since 1814, when it was forced to give up Finland to Russia in the course of the Napoleonic conflicts.
Most of the Jews of Sweden are only a generation or two removed from some other place where Sweden is not even on the radar screen of geographical or cultural knowledge, and many of the contributors would probably be able to tell tales of their Uncle Avroms.
Sweden and Switzerland have only recently been forced to confront the more damning accusation that they also profited from stolen Jewish property—a part of their past they would have preferred to forget.
