Jean Baptiste Bernadotte
As the chart below shows, Jean Baptiste Bernadotte is the great x 4 grandfather of the
present Kings of Sweden and Norway, and the Queen of Denmark. He was a
General in Napoleon's army who was given Sweden to rule in 1810 after the Vasa
family was deposed. His wife, Desiree Clary, was the daughter of a French
silk manufacturer. Her sister, Julie Clary, had also done well from the
French Revolution, marrying
Napoleon's brother, Joseph, and being temporary rulers of Spain
in 1808. Gustav V Adolf's marriage with Victoria of Baden, the great x 2
grand-daughter of Vasa Gustav IV, reconciled Sweden with its traditional ruling
family; and subsequent marriages with members of the British royal family brought the
descendants of Francois Clary and Bernadotte into the European royal fold.
See Royal Tree to see how this family fits in with the European royals.
