The register of every known Swedish medieval letter, with full texts for the early centuries. For 1200 the Swedish record is very thin: a few charters of King Sverker II Karlsson and his magnates for the Cistercian houses, letters of Innocent III to the Swedish church, and the dealings of Archbishop Olof of Uppsala and Bishop Bengt of Skara. The database is the only practical way to see what exists and to read it. The Västgötalagen king list of the 1240s, which gives the names and reputations of the kings of 1200, was not located online in a verified copy.
