1. outline

King of Sweden and Norway . He is the last foreign king of Norway.

2. career

As the third and three sons of Oscar I , Carl XIV , a big brother , died in 1872.[1] The second brother, Gustav, inherited the throne because he died in his twenties without children.

Unlike his brother, he insisted on strengthening the kingship with conservative tendencies, but he did not achieve what he wanted.

1905 When Norway declared independence and Prince Karl was elected to the throne, he was naturally opposed to Norway's independence, but his wife, Queen Sofia, Friedrich Nansen, and others persuaded Oscar II, and the Swedish parliament also expressed opposition to Oscar II's opinion and approved Norway's independence. Crucially, since Prince Karl's wife's family was a member of the British royal family, Britain supported Norway for Atlantic hegemony and eventually gave the throne to Denmark. It was given to Prince Charles, the second son of Frederick VIII . It is said that he was sad when he gave up the throne of Norway.
