Shouldn't it be persona non grata? Insteaed of persona ingratissima? Bo-Lingua 01:46, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

There is a mangled reference at the end of the King of Norway section. Brianyoumans 22 Mar 2006

[edit] "Christian Frederick would have been more entitled..."

I removed the following quote from the text:

"Christian Frederick would have been more entitled even to the Swedish crown than current heir Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte, being descended from Gustav I of Sweden through both his mother and his father."

I trimmed this piece of text below.

"Sweden refusing Christian's conditions, a short campaign ensued, in which the Norwegian army was easily defeated by the superior skill and forces of the Swedish crown prince Bernadotte. "

"More entitled"? This section of the text has no purpose. Why would a descendant of Gustav I of Sweden be more "entitled" to rule? This is a PoV-statement.

The second quote is too biased.. "easily defeated...superior skill and forces". The simple statement "..the Norwegian army was defeated by the forces of the Swedish crown prince" is enough. Fred26 07:32, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
