King of Sweden Oscar I (1858 portrait by Arvid Julius Gottfried Virgin)

Biography

Scandinavian monarch, who reigned as King of Sweden and Norway from 8 March 1844 until his death. He was the second monarch of the House of Bernadotte. The only child of King Charles XIV John, Oscar inherited the thrones upon the death of his father. Throughout his reign he would pursue a liberal course in politics in contrast to Charles XIV John, instituting reforms and improving ties between Sweden and Norway. In an address to him in 1857, the Riksdag declared that he had promoted the material prosperity of the kingdom more than any of his predecessors.

He married Josephine of Leuchtenberg on 22 May 1823, and they had five children. Oscar also had two extramarital sons (unofficially called the Princes of Lapland) by actress Emilie Högquist, and a daughter by Countess Jaquette Löwenhielm. He died on 8 July 1859 at age 60 at the Royal Palace in Stockholm. His eldest son succeeded him as Karl XV.
