4. digression

  • There were two sons and one daughter as illegitimate children. His daughter Oscara is from his first mistress, Jaquette Löwenhielm, and his two sons, Hjalmar and Max, are from his second mistress, actress Emilie Högquist.[5] It is resuscitation.
  • Unlike his father, who was elected Crown Prince of Sweden in his late 40s and spoke little Swedish , he came to Sweden at a young age and was able to speak both Swedish and French fluently. During his time as crown prince, he served as an interpreter for his father, who did not speak Swedish.[6]

Indeed, the Lords of the Austrian Empire, the French Kingdom, and the Bavarian Kingdoms were replaced by this revolution.[2] She is the granddaughter of William I and the granddaughter of Frederick Wilhelm III .[3] Queen Louise of Denmark[4] Gustav V , etc.[5] Before Oscar, he was a married man and had no children with his wife, but he had children named Thekla and Albert with John Bloomfield, 2nd Baron Bloomfield.[6] Considering the French king, most of the Swedish official documents at the time were translated into French, and there were also Swedish kings who were immersed in French culture , such as Gustav III, so the use of French was not unnaturally accepted at the Swedish court at the time. Right up until the late 19th century, French was on the same level as English today .
