Nope, poland have never been in controll of anything on the Swedish mainland, the only time polish troops have fought in Swden were during the Swedish civil wars of the late 16th century, between Karl IX (then duke) and Sigismund.

Like i said, the civil war between Duke Karl and Sigismund.
Sigismund was son of Johan III, (king of Sweden 1568-1592, brother to duke Karl), and due to his mother, heir to the Lithuanian crown. But in the union of Lublin 1569 the crowns of poland and lithuania were united into one single electory monarcy. In 1687 he were elected king of poland, and after the death och his father in 1592-4 he became king of sweden. However, his position in sweden were never very strong and in effect the only part of sweden that were loyal to him was finland.

And considering that the polish influence on sweden were zero (for example, no polish aristocrats were given poisions in sweden), it is wrong saying that poland "controlled" anything, sweden and poland simply hade the same regent for a few years.

Hm i get a small feeling this is a sidetrack.
