Did Sweden become Protestant during the reformation?
Yes. It is a coincidence that the Swedish revolt against the Danes coincided with the Lutheran revolt in Germany. Vasa's goal was royal supremacy and not a new faith. He opposed the Lutheran reforms, but seeing the economic and state power that reform brought he was to change his mind, since he wished to centralise the administration and concentrate all power in his own hands. When Vasa took power the land in Sweden was divided as follows: Church 20%, Nobility 20%, Farmers 50%, Crown 6.25% The Dominicans, a religious group, who offered a strong opposition to Vasa's plans, were banished from the kingdom, and the bishops who resisted were subjected to all kinds of oppression. After a religious debate at the University of Uppsala, the king gave the victory to Olaf Peterson, who had studied at Wittenberg and had accepted Luther's teaching. Vasa proceeded to Lutheranize the university, to take away religious property, and to employ every means to make the clergy to accept the new doctrine. A popular rebellion gave him an opportunity of accusing the Catholic bishops of high treason, and in 1527 the Archbishop of Upsala and the Bishop of Västerås were executed.
