The Earliest Kings

Sweden has existed for so long, and in a region where there were very few written books, so we don't know very much about the country's earliest history and her first kings. Johannes Magnus, the last (latest?) Roman Catholic arch bishop in Sweden made efforts to solve this problem by writing his version of the Swedish history. Most of the kings he wrote about have never existed, but they are the reason why e.g. the current King is called Carl XVI Gustaf even though there have only been ten kings with the name Carl/Karl.

Two peoples lived in Sweden: Svear and Göter. Both peoples had kings and sometimes the two peoples were reigned by the same king. The Svear defeated the Göter in the 6th century, and since then it has been one people. However, the Kings of Sweden called themselves Sweden's and Göthe's King until 1973.
