Francois Clary

As the chart below shows, Francois Clary is the great x 5 grandfather of the present Kings of Sweden and Norway, and the Queen of Denmark.  He was a French silk manufacturer who, with his wife Rose, had thirteen children -- two of whom, Desiree and Julie, befriended French soldiers billeted in their town and married post-revolutionary rising stars. Desiree married Jean Baptiste Bernadotte, a General in Napoleon's army who was given Sweden to rule in 1810 after the Vasa family was deposed; and Julie married Napoleon's brother, Joseph, who was temporarily made King of Spain in 1808 and later became a New Jersey gentry farmer. 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.
