Editing Archbishop of Uppsala (section)

== Earliest bishops  ==

The first written mention of a bishop at Uppsala is from [[Adam of Bremen]]'s ''Gesta Hammaburgensis ecclesiae pontificum'' that records in passing [[Adalvard the Younger]] appointed as the bishop for ''Sictunam et Ubsalam'' in the 1060s.{{sfn|Adam of Bremen|1876|loc=[http://www.intratext.com/IXT/LAT0975/_P79.HTM scholia 94]}} Swedish sources never mention him either in Sigtuna or Uppsala.

The medieval ''Annales Suecici Medii Aevi''{{sfn|Paulsson|1974|pp=}}<ref name=foteviken.se /> and the 13th century legend of [[Saint Botvid]]<ref name=sqpn.com /><ref name=holyspiritinteractive.net />{{sfn|Schück|1952|pp=178-187}} mention some Henry as the Bishop of Uppsala (''Henricus scilicet Upsalensis'') in 1129, participating in the consecration of the saint's newly built church.{{sfn|Rosén|Westrin|1908|pp=695-696|loc=[https://runeberg.org/nfbi/0366.html Gamla Upsalla]}} He is apparently the same Bishop Henry who died at the [[Battle of Fotevik]] in 1134, fighting along with the Danes after being banished from Sweden. Known from the ''[[Chronicon Roskildense]]'' written soon after his death and from [[Saxo Grammaticus]]' ''[[Gesta Danorum]]'' from the early 13th century, he had fled to Denmark from [[Sigtuna]]. Also he is omitted from, or at least redated in, the first list of bishops made in the 15th century.{{sfn|Heikkilä|2005|p=60}} In this list, the first bishop at Uppsala was Sverinius ([[Bishop Siwardus|Siwardus]]?), succeeded by Nicolaus, Sveno, [[Henry, Bishop of Uppsala|Henricus]] and Kopmannus. With the exception of Henricus, the list only mentions their names.{{sfn|Rosén|Westrin|1908|pp=695-696|loc=[https://runeberg.org/nfbi/0366.html Gamla Upsalla]}}{{sfn|Annerstedt|1705}}
