Talk:Line of succession to the Swedish throne
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Previous orders of succession Is it really necessary to list all the previous orders of succession starting from Charles XIV John? A list like this doesn't exist on any of the other countries order of succession pages. So pointless. I'm removing it again. 213.67.244.185 18:09, 16 February 2007
Well, I give up. I just don't think it's necessary to list all these previous orders of succession. 213.67.244.185 18:26, 16 February 2007

- I don't see the point of these lists either. I'm more curious about whether the line is limited to the three persons listed, and if not, why they aren't on our list. We don't have to go to 4000 like the British list, but some indication of where the line would go beyond the immediate royal family would be helpful. --Dhartung | Talk 09:02, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- Also agree that the historical lists are overkill. As for the limitation, it is true that there are currently only three heirs (a bit of a difference from the British situation!). See Swedish Act of Succession#Reforms. -- Jao (talk) 14:03, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- Ah! Thank you for the clarification. A bit like the Spanish situation (or the British situation ca. George I of Great Britain ...) --Dhartung | Talk 09:03, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

- It appears that the reform didn't actually disqualify anyone who had previously been in the succession. The list is short because
- * the dynasty has only existed since 1810;
- * until the present generation it was agnatic;
- * some of its members disqualified themselves.
- Anyway. I've collapsed the repetitive lists into one, which doesn't tell at a glance who was in the queue at a given date, but does unambiguously show the relative positions of any two (since that never changed). —Tamfang (talk) 07:54, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
