It is highly dubious whether Finland was in any effect joined to Sweden by the Crusade of Saint Eric (around 1154), though that occasion and date has received the established position of start of this political union. The expedition itself is only based on legends, it may have not happened or it probably was at most a small expedition without permanent effect, at least not political effect. Administrative subjugation of Finland took place more reliably during Birger Jarl in mid-13th century. The monarch list below is made based on the most "optimistic" hypothesis of the start of dominion. In practical terms, most of those medieval kings played no significant role in Finland, which was more or less governed by its own people, usually led by the Bishop Of Turku . An interpretation has been made that the part "Vend" in the later established titulary of Kings of Sweden (three kingdoms: King of Svears, Götars and Vends; Sveriges, Götes och Vendes Konung) means Finland, the form being akin to Findland, Vindland. As such, the Österland (=medievally inhabited parts of Finland) was the third kingdom and part of the realm. ''The Kingdom of Finland ( 1917 - 1919 )'' was superseded by the ''Republic of Finland'' with the republican constitution of 17 July , 1919 . SWEDISH RULERS OF FINLAND Swedish influence in Finland was considerable in pre-Christian times. The Vikings were known to Finns both due to their participation in commerce and plundering. Finland's nearly 700-year association with the Kingdom of Sweden did or did not began in approximately 1154 with the introduction of Christianity by a Crusade and an expedition by a svea (Uplandic) nobleman Eric Jedvardson, later known as Saint Eric who became King Eric IX Of Sweden . In 1362 Finnish representatives received for the first time entitlement to participate in the election of the Swedish king, whereby from that time Finland can be regarded as one of the Lands Of Sweden .
