Michael Roberts's The Early Vasas: A History of Sweden 1523 to 1611, Cambridge University Press, 1968, is the standard English-language academic history of Gustav Vasa's reign and the half century that followed it. It covers the reformation's slow, politically driven course under Vasa from the 1527 Diet of Vasteras, the constitutional struggle with the Catholic-leaning King Sigismund, and the 1593 Uppsala Synod that finally settled the kingdom's doctrine on the unaltered Augsburg Confession.

Reliability Tier1
Major university press academic monograph, long the standard English-language reference for this period; used for both the 1527 start of Gustav Vasa's reformation and the 1593 Uppsala Synod that settled Swedish doctrine, since the same volume treats the whole arc as one continuous constitutional and religious process. NotesUsed for the Swedish Reformation from the 1527 Diet of Vasteras through the 1593 Uppsala Synod.
