Today is Swedish National Day. Also known as Svenska Flaggans Day (Swedish Flag Day), this public holiday commemorates two historical anniversaries: the coronation of King Gustav Vasa in 1523 and the ratification of the modern constitution on this day in 1809, which established a separation of governmental power.
Sweden had been a part of the Kalmar Union along with Norway and Finland under Danish leadership. The Union was an effort to counter the growing power of the Hanseatic League. Swedes rebelled repeatedly against Danish rule. Eventually, Gustav Vasa organized a rebellion and conquered most of Sweden. He was elected King of Sweden on June 6, essentially ending the Kalmar Union.
