Nils Allesson
Nils Allesson (Latin: Nicolaus Allonius) was Archbishop of Uppsala 1292–1305.
Biography
According to the Archbishop's Chronicle, he was born in Uppsala. It is believed that he studied at the
Archbishop of Lund, who had primate status over the archbishop of Uppsala. The Archbishop did not approve of Nils Allesson and appealed the election to Rome. This occurred during a period without a valid Pope elected due to a deadlock among cardinals. Nils later travelled to Rome to be ordained in 1295 by Pope Boniface VIII.[1][2][3]
Nils was known as a vigorous archbishop. He founded and supervised institutions for safety and order, such as accommodations for travelers around his diocese. In 1303, he participated in the first trial against
Magnus I of Sweden
