GUSTAVUS V

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 739 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GUI-HAN
GUSTAVUS V . (1858 ), king of Sweden, son of Oscar II.,
king of Sweden and Norway, and Queen
Sophia
  Wilhelmina, was
born at Drottningholm on the 16th of June 1858. He entered the army, and was, like his father, a
great
  traveller. As crown prince he held the title of duke of Warmland. He married in 1881 Victoria (b. 1862), daughter of Frederick William Louis, grand duke of Baden, and of Louise, princess of
Prussia
 . The duchess of Baden was the granddaughter of
Sophia
 , princess of Sweden, and the
marriage
  of the crown prince thus effected a
union
  between the Bernadotte dynasty and the ancient Swedish royal
house
  of Vasa. During the absence or illness of his father Gustavus repeatedly acted as regent, and was therefore already thoroughly versed in public affairs when he succeeded to the Swedish throne on the 8th of December 1907, the crown of Norway having been separated from that of Sweden in 1905. He took as his motto " With the people for the Fatherland."
The crown prince, Oscar Frederick William Gustavus
Adolphus
 , duke of Scania (b. 1882), married in 1905 Princess
Margaret
  of Connaught (b. 1882), niece of King
Edward
  VII. A son was born to them at Stockholm on the 22nd of April 1906, and another son in the following year. The king's two younger sons were William, duke of Sudermania (b. 1884), and Eric, duke of Westmanland (b. 1889).
