Historia de omnibus Gothorum Sueonumque regibus
The Historia de omnibus Gothorum Sueonumque regibus is a posthumously published, partly pseudo-historical work by Johannes Magnus, Sweden's last Catholic archbishop. In 1554 it was published in Latin by his brother Olaus Magnus.
Frontispiece of the 1558 edition of the Historia, published in Basel.
Woodcut by Petter Lorens Hoffbro from ca. 1750 illustrating many of the monarchs appearing in the Historia, as well as all subsequent monarchs from Gustav I up to Gustav III.
Johannes Magnus was the last functioning Catholic Archbishop in Sweden, and also a theologian, genealogist, and historian.
