The Second Swedish Crusade was a Swedish military expedition to areas in present-day Finland by Birger jarl in the 13th century. As a result of the crusade, Finland became permanently part of Sweden for the next 550 years.According to Eric's Chronicle from the 1320s, the crusade took place between the death of King Eric XI of Sweden in 1250 and Birger jarl getting elevated to the position of jarl in 1248. The so-called "Detmar Chronicle" of Lübeck from around 1340 confirms the expedition with a short note that Birger jarl submitted Finland under Swedish rule. From other sources, Birger jarl is known to have been absent from Sweden in winter 1249-50. Later on, the conquest of Finland was redated to 1150s by the official Swedish legends, crediting the national saint King Eric for it.
