Prince Oscar of Sweden and Norway, Duke of Gotlandia, (Oscar Carl August) (November 15, 1859 - October 4, 1953) was the second son of King Oscar II of Sweden and Norway and his wife Queen Sofia, born a Princess of Nassau. Prince Oscar's marriage to Ebba Munck af Fulkila on March 15, 1888, which had not been given consent by the King, lost him the rights of succession to the Swedish throne and his title, however he was invested with the new title Prince Bernadotte. On April 2, 1892, he was given the hereditary title Count of Wisborg by his uncle Grand Duke Adolphe of Luxembourg, who was previously Duke of Nassau.
Oscar and Ebba had five children, the youngest of which was Folke Bernadotte.
