Apart from the diocesean Arms presented in another thread, the Chruch of Sweden also has other territorial Arms.
This is the Arms of the Church of Sweden as a whole. The Arms of the Archdiocese of Uppsala has been inverted and a Crown added. The arms was adopted in 1977. It is based on a design that can be seen carved in stone on the southern entrance to the Cathedral of Uppsala.
The Parish of the Royal Court are not part of any Diocese and has a extra territorial jurisdiction the Hovkonsistorium (have not found a english translation). The Hovkonsistorum has in later tims adopted Arms of which I have no picture:
Or a couped Cross Azure charged with an open Crown Or.
A variation of the Arms of the Church of Sweden.
