[edit] Dalarna

Is he still Duke of Dalecarlia? john k 05:48, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

No, because of his "unequal" first marriage. —Tamfang 05:30, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Visborg

All (recent) Swedish princes who marry unequally, it seems, have the title Count Bernadotte of Visborg. Why does the article say the grand duchess of Luxemburg gave him that title?! —Tamfang 05:30, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

I guess the answer is in here. —Tamfang 05:53, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Louise of Saxe-Hildburghausen (1794-1825)

Wilhelm, Duke of Nassau (1792-1839)

Pauline of Württemberg (1810-1856)

Adolphe, Grand Duke of Luxembourg (1817-1905)

Sofia of Nassau (1836-1913)

Oscar II, king of Sweden (1829-1907)

Gustav V, king of Sweden (1858-1950)

Oscar Count of Wisborg (1858-1953)

Prince Carl, Duke of Västergötland (1861-1951)

Prince Eugén, Duke of Närke (1865-1947)

Since 1868, Swedish princes who have lost their succession rights have received noble titles conferred by other reigning monarchs. So other monarchs can bestow the title on them, and probably it began with the Luxembourg dukes because they were relatives. Morhange 06:55, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
