The Swedish bishop normally involved in the eastern campaigns was theBishop of Linköping, not the Bishop of Uppsala.
The mid-12th century was a very violent time in the northern Baltic sea, with Finnish tribes such as Tavastians and Karelians as well
as Swedes in frequent conflicts with Novgorod and with each other.[4] The First Novgorod Chronicle tells that in 1142 a Swedish
"prince" and bishop accompanied by a fleet of 60 ships plundered just three Novgorodian merchant vessels somewhere "on the other
[5]
side of the sea", obviously being after something more important.
