Kingdom of Sweden
Konungariket Sverige
House of Bernadotte
Sweden (pronounced en-us-Sweden.ogg /ˈswiːdən/
SWEE-dən, Swedish: Sverige), officially the Kingdom of Sweden (Swedish: About this sound Konungariket Sverige, 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 theEuropean 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.
Present Sovereign: Carl XVI Gustaf King of Sweden (Haga
Castle, Sweden, April 30th, 1946). Son of Gustaf Adolf Prince of Sweden (1906-1947) and Sibylla Princess of Saxe-Coburg and

Dining Room, Royal Palace, Stockholm, Sweden, September 19th, 1973. Motto: För Sverige i tiden (For Sweden- in
our time). Religion: Lutherian Evangelic.
Succession: The throne is hereditary in the descendance of Karl XIV Johan Bernadotte, until January 1st, 1980, according
to male right of the first-born. After that date Princess Victoria followed her younger brother Carl Philip as heir. A dynast

looses all rights to the throne, for himself and his descendance.

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.
