List of Swedish consorts


This is a list of Swedish queens consort and spouses of Swedish monarchs and regents. The list covers a large time span and the role of a consort has changed much over the centuries. The first Swedish consorts are spoken of in legends. The consorts until c. 1000 are often semi-legendary, as are the monarchs. Between the 14th and 16th century, during periods of de facto Swedish independence from the formal union with Denmark, the Swedish regents did not have the title of king or queen, nor did the spouses of kings have the title of queen consort, although they had the equivalent position. Due to unions with Finland, Denmark and Norway, many of the Swedish consorts were also consorts of monarchs of these countries. Consorts listed during the period of 1380–1520 were in fact also consorts to monarchs of Denmark. The consorts listed during the period of 1814-1905 were also consorts to monarchs of Norway. Finland was from the Middle Ages a part of Sweden, and although there was no official title, such as "Queen Consort of Finland", from the 16th century until the year of 1809, the queen consort of Sweden also held the title "Grand Princess of Finland."

Sweden has had three female monarchs, and one of the consorts listed below is a male.
