Have you seen the menus posted at the Olde Cookery Book website?
They're from the household of Hans Brask, a 16th century Swedish bishop.

There are no pre-1600 Swedish recipies on the site, but the menus may
help you select appropriate recipes from post-period sources.  You might
also want to email the site's author, Martin Skjöldebrand, since he is a
Swede with an interest in historical cooking.
