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.
See Royal Tree to see how this family fits in with the European royals.
