List of Swedish consorts

This is a list of Swedish queens consort and spouses of Swedish monarchs and regents. The list covers a large time span and the role of a queen has changed much over the centuries. The first Swedish queens are spoken of in legends. The queens until c. 1000 are often semi-legendary, as are the kings. Between the 14th and 16th century, during periods of de facto Swedish independence from the formal union with Denmark, the Swedish regents did not have the title of king, nor did their spouses have the title of queen, although they had the equivalent position. Due to unions with Finland, Denmark and Norway, many of the Swedish queen were also queens of these countries. Queens listed during the period of 1380–1520 were in fact also queens of Denmark. The queens listed during the period of 1814-1905 were also queens of Norway. Finland was from the Middle Ages a part of Sweden, and although there was no official title of "Queen of Finland", from the 16th century until the year of 1809, the queen of Sweden also held the title "Grand Princess of Finland." Sweden also had female monarchs, and their spouses are also included.
