List of Swedish queens
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This list covers a large time span and the role of a queen has changed much over the centuries. Many have truly ruled the country side by side with their husband and some have become sole regents. 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 is a list of Swedish queens consort.
