Thomas Simonsson

Thomas Simonsson (c. 1380 – January 28, 1443) was a Swedish theologian and poet who served as the Bishop of the Diocese of Strängnäs 1429 – 1443.

He was the author of the poem Engelbrektsvisan (1439) which included the stanzas known as Biskop Thomas Frihetsvisan.

The poem is part of a chronicle play about Engelbrekt Engelbrektsson.

However the chapter elected Olaus Laurentii to be the new archbishop against the King's volition.

Thomas Simonsson died in 1443 and was interred in Strängnäs Cathedral.
