Scandinavia was an important region in the Lutheran Reformation during the 16th centuries. King Christian II of Denmark-Norway and Holstein and King Gustav I of Sweden both adopted Lutheranism personally and advanced it in their kingdoms.
Christian II's successor, Frederick I was staunchly Catholic and harshly opposed Lutheranism in the earlier years of his reign, but eventually came to tolerate and then even protect Lutheran preachers. His son, Christian III, was openly Lutheran and promoted that ideology during his time on the throne. It became the official religion in Denmark-Norway in 1536.
Sweden had a slower start in adopting Lutheranism as a whole country but various Lutheran preachers and groups had a considerable amount of support. Canon Law, Sweden's tie to the Roman Catholic Church, was abolished in 1536, the same year that Denmark-Norway officially adopted the religion.
