Simply curiolus: In what way is Prince Carl of Denmark (Håkon den Syvende) descendant of the House of Bernadotte? I have a slight feeling that this passage is misleading. I've understood that in order to edit it is a rule of tumb to suggest constructive changes rather than deleting. I don't feel like an expert on this field so I guess someone else will look into this matter....
- Carl/Håkon's parents were Frederick VIII of Denmark and Lovisa of Sweden, the daughter of Charles XV of Sweden. So the passage is certainly correct. But if it tricks the reader into believing that he was elected King of Norway because he was a Bernadotte descendant, that would be going too far; if you feel that this is the case, go ahead and change it. -- Jao 22:46, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
