Gustav Eriksson Trolle served as Archbishop of Uppsala, Sweden, during the Reformation. He was elected vicar in Linköping in 1513 and became Archbishop of Uppsala in 1514. Removed from office in 1515 due to rumors of alliance with King Christian II of Denmark, he was reinstated in 1520 after Christian's conquest of Sweden. He crowned Christian King of Sweden in November 1520. Trolle was later forced to leave Sweden and lived in Denmark before meeting with Christian in the Netherlands. He was mortally wounded in battle in 1535.
