• Notes

  She was married Karl on initiativ of Gustav III. Karl XIII took the throne the year after the royal family adopted Jean Baptist Bernadotte (to the dismay of the queen, as she wanted Gustav IV Adolf:s son Gustav as a king). The marriage between Karl XIII and Charlotta was not a happy one, mostly because Karl (as most of his predecessors) had many mistresses. It'said that Charlotta was of good character. She was gifted as a writer and her memoars is considered to be of top quality.
