Encyclopedia > List of Swedish queens

This is a list of Swedish queens consort. This list covers a large time span and the role of a queen has changed much over the centuries. However individual queens have also shaped their own role in remarkable ways. Many have truly ruled the country side by side with their husband and some have become sole regents. The marriage of an heir or a king was most often affected by politics and alliances were often affirmed by marriages in the royal families. It was also for a long period not permittable for a royal to marry a non-royal. Thus the choise of wife would be narrow in one's own country and most of the queens in this list are not native to their husbonds country. Only two of the queens before the 20th century were commoners. The queens uptil ca 1000 are often semi-legendary. Due to unions with Denmark and Norway, many of the queens listed from 1380-1520 were also queens of Denmark and the queens listed from 1814-1905 were also queens of Norway. This article does not cite any references or sources. ...
