jan 1, 1066 - Christianity Dominates Sweden

Description:

At this time, every single Scandinavian kingdom had converted to Christianity. As a result, Viking culture absorbed itself into the culture of European Christianity. This is extremely important because religion united the former "barbaric" Vikings, into a more traditional European culture. At this time, Scandinavian countries began to look similar to other European rivals, rather than traditional Vikings that had been isolated in the North.
