Happy 47th wedding anniversary to King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden!

The couple tied the knot on June 19 1976 at the Stockholm Cathedral, having met 4 years prior at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich; Silvia was assigned to be Carl Gustaf's translator during the games. Carl Gustaf acceded to the throne in the following year following the death of his grandfather.

Their engagement was announced on March 12 1976; the King proposed with a 2-carat ring that belonged to his late mother. Their wedding symbolized the first marriage of a reigning Swedish monarch since King Gustav IV Adolf married Princess Frederica of Baden in 1797; and Silvia became Sweden's first queen consort since 1965.

Their chosen date of June 19 is a symbolic date for the Bernadotte family and one in which multiple family members have gotten married on, including Carl Gustaf and Sofia's eldest daughter, Crown Princess Victoria.

They have three children and eight grandchildren: Crown Princess Victoria, Duchess of Västergötland (45), mother of Princess Estelle (11) and Prince Oscar (7); Prince Carl Philip, Duke of Värmland (44), father of Prince Alexander (7), Prince Gabriel (5) and Prince Julian (2); and Princess Madeleine, Duchess of Hälsingland and Gästrikland, (41), mother of Princess Leonore (9), Prince Nicolas (8) and Princess Adrienne (5).

GUSTAV IV ADOLF

King of Sweden

(born 1778 - died 1837)

pictured above is a portrait of the King of Sweden, painted by Johann Baptist Lampi (the Elder) before 1830

-------------------- ~ -------------------- ~ --------------------

GUSTAV ADOLF was born in 1778, at Stockholm Palace in Stockholm, the capital of the Kingdom of Sweden, ruled by his father. He was the eldest son of Gustav III, King of Sweden, and Princess Sophie Magdalene of Denmark.

Check my post about his FATHER!

He was a member of the Swedish line of the HOUSE OF HOLSTEIN-GOTTORP, a branch line of the House of Oldenburg. And, he was from birth the CROWN PRINCE OF SWEDEN.

His father suffered an assassination attempt in 1792, dying a few days later. So, he, at 14 years old, unexpectedly ascended as GUSTAV IV, KING OF SWEDEN, under the Regency of his uncle Karl, Duke of Södermaland.

Check my post on THE ASSASSINATION of his father!

At the end of 1796, he reached the majority at 16 years old, and the Regency of his uncle came to an end.

On the day before his 19th birthday in 1797, he married the 16-year-old PRINCESS DOROTHEA WILHELMINE OF BADEN. His new wife was one of the daughters of Karl Ludwig, Hereditary Prince of Baden, and Princess Amalie of Hesse-Darmstadt. With her, he had five children.

Check a list of his children at the end of this post!

In the early 1800s, Sweden joined the Third and Fourth Coalitions alongside other European countries against Napoleón I, Emperor of the French.

But, when Russia and Prussia made peace with France in 1807, through the Treaties of Tilsit, the Franco-Russian treaty proved to be particularly damaging with Russia invading Finland, a Swedish territory.

The loss of territories on the subsequent Finnish War led to his downfall, with a group of nobles orchestrating a coup to depose him in 1809.

By early March 1809, he was seized, and his family was imprisoned. While his uncle the Duke of Södermaland was put as the head of the new provisional government.

Trying to ensure that his son Crown Prince Gustav would succeed to the throne, by the end of March 1809, he voluntarily abdicated at the age of 30.

However, the Swedish Parliament, called Riksdag, did not accept his son as a successor and decided to remove all of his living descendants and future lineage from the line of succession.

Then, by June 1809, the Riksdag formally elected his uncle as the new Monarch, who acceded as King Karl XIII, despite being 60 years old and having no living legitimate children. So, arrangements had to be made to adopt an heir.

The chosen heir was one of his Danish relatives, Prince Christian August of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg, who assumed the name of Crown Prince Karl August.

As the deposed King of Sweden, by the end of 1809 and already a 31-year-old, he was forced to leave in exile. He and his family initially settled in the Grand Duchy of Baden, ruled by relatives of his wife.

Though, by 1810, he decided to leave his wife and family behind, moving to the Swiss Confederation, where he used the style of COUNT GOTTORP.

Meanwhile, in Sweden, the chosen Crown Prince died, and another heir had to be found. Swedish officials then turned to Emperor Napoléon I and chose a French Marshall, Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte, Prince of Pontecorvo, who immediately took control of the government as Crown Prince Karl Johan.

While in Baden, in 1811, his brother-in-law succeeded as Karl, Grand Duke of Baden.

Probably before his 34th birthday in 1812, he officially divorced his wife. After the divorce, he used other styles such as DUKE OF HOLSTEIN-EUTIN and LORD or COUNT OF ITTER.

When his mother died in 1813, he was 34 years old. He was able to attend her funeral because she had stayed in Sweden.

Following the death of his uncle in 1818, the intended Crown Prince succeeded as King Karl XIV, founding the House of Bernadotte.

From 1818, he was a Basel citizen in the Swiss Confederation and had renounced all of his birth rights as COLONEL GUSTAF ADOLF GUSTAFSSON.

After his divorce, he had several mistresses and possibly many illegitimate children. But he only recognized one child that he had with a woman named MARIA SCHLEGEL, around 1820.

Not content with his life in Basel, by 1822, he renounced his citizenship, moving to St. Gallen around 1834.

The former King of Sweden died in 1837, at St. Gallen in the Swiss Confederation. He was 58 years old.

-------------------- ~ -------------------- ~ --------------------

Although in life he had never been allowed to return to Sweden, following the wedding of his great-granddaughter Princess Viktoria of Baden to Gustaf, Crown Prince of Sweden in 1881, the current Bernadotte Monarch, King Oscar II, had him reburied in Sweden.

And, through this wedding, the blood of the House of Holstein-Gottorp returned to the Swedish Royal Family in 1882 with the birth of his 2x-great-grandson Prince Gustaf Adolf, who in 1950 would succeed as Gustaf VI, King of Sweden.

Through them, he is an ancestor of Carl XVI Gustaf, the current Swedish Monarch.

-------------------- ~ -------------------- ~ --------------------

GUSTAV ADOLF and his wife FRIEDERIKE had five children.

Gustav, Prince of Vasa - married to Princess Luise Amelie of Baden;

Princess Sofia of Sweden - married to Leopold, Grand Duke of Baden;

Karl Gustav, Grand Duke of Finland - died at age two;

Princess Amalia of Sweden - unmarried; and

Princess Cecilia of Sweden - married to August I, Grand Duke of Oldenburg.

pictured above is a portrait of the King of Sweden with his wife, painted by Jonas Forsslund circa 1797-1800

And, he also recognized one illegitimate children.

From his mistress MARIA:

Adolf Gustafsson - nothing is known about his life.

Theory: All the papas, after terzo, are following the line of succession of the swedish monarchy

It’s well known that some aspects of Terzo were inspired by the swedish king "Gustav III", not only his outfit but also his death: he was assassinated on 29 March and terzo 30 April.

Gustav was hated between the nobles, the implementation of the Union and Security Act in 1789 gave him more power and abolished many of the privileges among the nobility. In 1791-1792, a conspiracy was formed and main goal was to kill Gustav.

After you have a quick research, Gustav III successor was "Gustav IV Adolf"

Gustav IV Adolf is really similar to Copia during his cardinal era, not only his clothes but also his appearance:

Another example:

Gustav IV Adolf succeed to the throne after Gustav III assassination. Gustav was also also known as inept and a erratic leader in diplomacy and war, one of his lieutenants trigged a rebellion against him, that lead to his deposition.

His abdication occured at 29 March, he was forced to leave and was banished from the county in 1809, living a lonely life.

He died in February 7.

Charles XIII was Gustav IV Adolf successor after is abdication and we can also see some clothing influence in Papa Emeritus IV outfits.

Charles was described as dependent and easily influenced, he was indecisive and full of Health problems. His incapacity triggered a search for a suitable heir and after a long search, one of Napoleon's generals was choosen as his successor.

He died in February 5.

If Ghost decides to keep following the royal line for the new papas, we'll have Charles XIV John as inspiration.

Charles XIV was known was popular and powerful, he was also an ardent supporter of the french revolution.

This theory was made by noticing some similarities between the monarchs and the papas, following terzo's initial inspiration and i hope it makes sense

Judging by the outfits, overall, Tobias is taking victorian influences and I'm pretty sure we have more hidden influences.
