Svealand is a historical region of Sweden. Geographically it is located in central Sweden, bounded to the north by Norrland and to the south by Götaland. Deep forests, Tiveden, Tylöskog, Kolmården, separated Svealand from Götaland. The inhabitants were called Svear.

Svealand was the original Sweden, to which it gave its name. This is supported by linguistics and is based on early medieval sources, such as the sagas. In Old Norse and in Old English, Svealand and Sweden are synonymous, and described as a separate country from Götaland/Gautland/Geatland. In Sögubrot af Nokkrum[1] for instance, Kolmården between Svealand and Ostrogothia is described as the border between Sweden and Ostrogotia (...Kolmerkr, er skilr SvíÞjóð ok Eystra-Gautland...).

2 History

A crusadeThis article is about the historical Crusades and the extended term "Crusade". For the artillery system, see XM2001 Crusader; for the fighter jet, see F-8 Crusader; for the television series, see Crusade. Historically, the Crusades were a series of severa to the east started by the kings of Svealand during the 12th century eventually conquered the provinces of Österland, an older name for Finland.

For a time in the early 19th century, the province of Wermelandia belonged to the Court of Appeal for Svealand. Even though Värmland historically belonged to Götaland, it has by custom long been considered part of Svealand.

Roslagen and Bergslagen are names of two informal regions in Svealand.

The name of Sweden in Swedish, Svea rike (current spelling: Sverige) or the Realm of the Svear is analogous to Svealand. Other forms are Sweoðeod ( Old Norse SvíÞjóð), and Sweorice.
