Carl XIII, the ancestor of the royal family, was from the common family in southwestern France . In France, when his father was an ordinary lawyer, he was a Korean family.

It was rare in the world for a dynasty to emerge from a pure commoner rather than a noble or influential family like the Bernadotte dynasty. Because he suddenly jumped from a commoner to a ruling dynasty, Oscar I married Josephine of Leuchtenberg and other early marriages with other emerging families that rose to prominence during the Napoleonic Wars. Due to this background, the practice of marrying nobles was strictly observed until 1980 .[1] Karl XV of the Netherlands Princess Louise of the Oranja-Nasau Dynasty and King Oscar II of the German Federation Principality of Nassau By marrying Princess Sophia of the Nassau-Weilburg dynasty and marrying other countries' royal families as equals in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the status of the royal family in terms of lineage increased significantly.

The Holstein-Gottorp dynasty, the existing Swedish royal family, continued to claim the right to succession even after being driven out of Sweden, but as time passed, the male descendants were cut off and only the female descendants remained.

As a compromise to independence , Haakon VII, a Danish prince and grandson of Charles XV of the Bernadotte dynasty, was elected king. At this time, Fridtjof Nansen contributed greatly to persuading Oscar II .

In 1980, with the introduction of the world's first absolute eldest inheritance law, the legislative legislation pushed the prince, Carl Philip, and Victoria became a king. Victoria married Daniel Bestleing in 2010 and gave birth to Princess Estel in 2012 and Prince Oscar in 2016 .
