Andreas Laurentii Björnram
- Andreas Laurentii Björnram
Andreas Laurentii Björnram (1520 – January 1, 1593) also known as Bothniensis Bereus which he called himself in honor of his mother's family, was Archbishop of Uppsala in the Church of Sweden from 1583 to his death. He was born in 1520, being the last Archbishop of Uppsala to have been born before King Gustav Vasa decreed Lutheranism to be the official state religion of the Kingdom of Sweden in 1531 during the Lutheran Reformation.
Was one of the strongest supporters of King John III of Sweden's liturgy. Eventually he changed his mind, and as archbishop advocated the reading of Martin Luther's catechism.
He was married to Margareta, the daughter of Laurentius Petri, a main character in the Swedish reformation of 1531.
