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.
