Ancient kings of Finland are legendary rulers associated with Finland in early literary sources. While a handful of medieval texts from Scandinavia, England, and the Islamic world mention figures described as kings of Finns, Finland or Kvenland, the descriptions are generally vague, and there is no archaeological evidence for the existence of a historical, unified monarchy in Iron Age or early medieval Finland.
