Arboga

Arboga is a small town in Västmanland in central Sweden, a medieval trading centre for the iron of the Bergslagen mining district. The meeting held there in 1435 during Engelbrekt's revolt, attended by nobles, clergy, burghers and peasants, is conventionally regarded as the first Swedish Riksdag, and further national assemblies met there in the following century.
