The turbulence of the Protestant Reformation marks a turning point
in European history, but the Scandinavian contribution to this
revolution is not well known outside the Northern world. Reforming
the North focuses on twenty-five years (1520-1545 A.D.) of this
history, during which Scandinavians terminated the medieval Union
of Kalmar, toppled the Catholic Church, ended the commercial
dominance of the German Hanse, and laid the foundations for
centralized states on the ruins of old institutions and
organizations. This book traces the chaotic and often violent
transfer of resources and authority from the decentralized
structures of medieval societies to the early modern states and
their territorial churches. Religious reform is regarded as an
essential element in the process - in the context of social unrest,
political conflict, and long-term changes in finance, trade, and
warfare. Reforming the North offers a broad perspective on this
turbulent period and on the implications of the Protestant
Reformation for Northern history.
