Andreas Laurentii Björnram
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
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.
