THE KINGDOM OF SWEDEN

Konungariket Sverige

House of Bernadotte

 

Sweden (pronounced en-us-Sweden.ogg /ˈswiːdən/ (help·info) SWEE-dən,
Swedish: Sverige), officially the Kingdom of Sweden (Swedish: About
this sound Konungariket Sverige (help·info)), is a Nordic country
on the Scandinavian Peninsula in Northern Europe. Sweden has land
borders with Norway to the west and Finland to the northeast, and
it is connected to Denmark by the Öresund Bridge in the south.

 

 

At 450,295 km², Sweden is the third largest country in the European
Union in terms of area, and it has a total population of about 9.2
million. Sweden has a low population density of 21 inhabitants per
square kilometre (54 /sq mi), but with a considerably higher density
in the southern half of the country. About 85% of the population live
in urban areas, and it is expected that these numbers will gradually
rise as a part of the ongoing urbanization. Sweden's capital is
Stockholm, which is also the largest city in the country (population
of 1.3 million in the urban area and with 2 million in the metropolitan
area). The second largest city is Gothenburg with 500,000 inhabitants
in the urban area and approximately 1 million in the metropolitan area.
The third largest city is Malmö.

Sweden is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system of
government and a highly developed economy. It ranks first in the
world in The Economist's Democracy Index and seventh in the United
Nation's Human Development Index. Sweden has been a member of the
European Union since 1 January 1995 and is a member of the OECD.

Sweden emerged as an independent and unified country during the Middle
Ages. In the 17th century the country expanded its territories to form
the Swedish Empire. Most of the conquered territories outside the
Scandinavian Peninsula were lost during the 18th and 19th centuries.
The eastern half of Sweden, present-day Finland, was lost to Russia
in 1809. The last war in which Sweden was directly involved was in
1814, when Sweden by military means forced Norway into a personal
union with Sweden, a union which lasted until 1905. Since then,
Sweden has been at peace, adopting a non-aligned foreign policy
in peacetime and neutrality in wartime.

The House of Bernadotte

 

The House of Bernadotte, the current Royal House of the Kingdom
of Sweden, has reigned since 1818. Between 1818 and 1905 it was
also the Royal House of Norway. Following the Finnish War in
1809, Sweden suffered the traumatic loss of Finland, which had
constituted the eastern half of the Swedish realm for centuries.
The agony and resentment towards King Gustav IV Adolf precipitated
a coup d'état, and Gustav Adolf's uncle, the childless Charles XIII,
replaced him. This was merely a temporary solution, and in 1810 the
Swedish Riksdag of the Estates elected the Danish Prince Christian
August of Augustenborg as heir to the throne. As Swedish crown
prince he took the name Charles August (Karl August); however, he
died later that same year.

 

 

As Napoleon I of France was Emperor of the French, and ruled, directly
or indirectly, over much of Continental Europe through a network of
client kingdoms headed by his brothers (see Napoleonic Empire), the
Swedish parliament saw it practical to elect a king whom Napoleon
could accept. On 21 August 1810, the Riksdag elected Jean-Baptiste
Bernadotte, Marshal of France, as heir presumptive to the Swedish
throne.Bernadotte, born in the town of Pau, in the province of Béarn,
France, had risen to the rank of general during the tumultuous years
of the French Revolution. In 1798 he married Désirée Clary, who had
a sister who was married to Joseph, Napoleon's elder brother. In 1804
Napoleon promoted him to a Marshal of France, a move that he would
later regret when Bernadotte disobeyed orders and refused to attack
during the Battle of Auerstaedt. He narrowly escaped a court martial
because of his familial ties to the Emperor. Before defecting from
France he was also granted the title 'Prince of Ponte Corvo', a town
in central Italy by the Emperor Napolean.

As the Crown Prince of Sweden he assumed the name Karl Johan (Charles
John), acted officially as regent for the remainder of Charles XIII's
reign and secured a forced personal union between Sweden and Norway in
the 1814 Campaign against Norway. Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte reigned as
King Charles XIV of Sweden and Carl III Johan of Norway from 5 February
1818 until his death on 8 March 1844. The House of Bernadotte reigned
in both countries until the dissolution of the union between Norway and
Sweden in 1905. Prince Carl of Denmark, a grandson of King Charles XV,
was then elected as Norway's new king. The coat of arms of the House
of Bernadotte combines the coat of arms of the House of Vasa (heraldic
left) and the coat of arms of Bernadotte as the Prince of Ponte Corvo
(heraldic right). It is visible as an inescutcheon in the Greater Coat
of Arms of the Realm of the Kingdom of Sweden.

The Family Titles and Styles

Members of the Royal House bear the Titles of Prince or Princess
of Sweden with the formal qualification of Royal Highness, Some

(The Hague 5 Aug 1828-Stockholm 30 Mar 1871); note: following some sources

I had originally given another date for the king;s death, but I received the

following from Dag Hoelseth: "King Carl IV/XV died in Malmö on *18 Sept* 1872,

not "19 Aug". Both Ted Rosvall and Burke's are wrong on this account. See various

editions of Almanach de Gotha (for instance 1887 and earlier, mentions that Oscar

II succeeded on 18 September 1872); Greve: 1980, p. 20; Bomann-Larsen: 2003, p. 84;

Skott: 1996, p. 70 (only mentions the warm month of September) and Elgklou: 1995,

pp. 129-30 gives the right date, 18 September. Elgklou gives so many details that

there is no doubt about the month and date. Prince Carl of Denmark, later King

Haakon VII of Norway, was named after King Carl XV, and the king was also one

of his 11 sponsors (he was born on 3 Aug and baptised on 7 September 1872).

The List of Swedish Monarchs

This is a list of Swedish monarchs, that is, the Kings and ruling Queens of Sweden, with regents and viceroys of the Kalmar Union up to the present time. The earliest record of what is generally considered to be a Swedish king appears in Tacitus' work Germania, c. 100 AD (the king of the Suiones). However, due to scant and unreliable sources before the 11th century, lists of succession traditionally start in the 10th century with king Olof Skötkonung, and his father Eric the Victorious, who also were the first Swedish kings to be baptized.

There are, however, lists of Swedish pagan monarchs with far older dates, but in many cases these kings appear in sources of disputed historical reliability. These records notably deal with the legendary House of Yngling, and based on the Danish chronicler Saxo Grammaticus, Erik Segersäll and Olof Skötkonung have often been classified as belonging to the Swedish house of Ynglings. However, according to Icelandic sources this line of kings was broken (see Ingjald and Ivar Vidfamne), and trace them back to Sigurd Ring and Ragnar Lodbrok (whom Saxo, on the other hand, considered to belong to the House of Yngling). As there is no evidence that Eric and Olof ever used the Yngling name themselves, modern historians instead refer to their family as the House of Munsö, the Old Dynasty or the House of Uppsala.

In the 16th century, Johannes Magnus constructed a mythical line of Swedish kings, beginning with Magog, the son of Japheth, to demonstrate the antiquity of the Swedish throne. On the basis of his list, Eric XIV and Charles IX adopted their high ordinals; previous monarchs with those names are traditionally numbered counting backward from Eric XIV and Charles IX. In contemporary Swedish usage, medieval kings are usually not given any ordinal at all.

In addition to the list below, the Swedish throne was also claimed by the kings of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth from 1599 to 1660. Following his abdication Sigismund continued to claim the throne from 1599 to his death in 1632. After his death the claim was continued by his sons Wladyslaw IV (from 1632 to 1648) and John II Casimir (from 1648 to 1660).
