Talk:Adolf Frederick of Sweden

Death cause
This article mentions that Adolf Frederick died of "digestion problems", but the articles in both German Wikipedia and Swedish Wikipedia mention the cause of death as stroke. Which one is correct? sentausa 07:10, 21 May 2007 (UTC)


 * The death cause in a bulletin about death mention the cause as being his last meal, yet in this article it is "considered propaganda" by "modern writers"
 * Add whatever you'd like as long as it's reliably sourced. Do not remove anything reliably sourced. Studies in recent decades of the political propaganda of past centuries has us updating thiese things from time to time. Always reliably. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 16:58, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

What on earth?
Can someone please give a thorough account of how this man became king? There's a little hemming and hawing about how he was related to the royal family, but there's no adequate explanation of how the man ascended to the throne. There's not a single Gustav in the entire family tree presented at the bottom, so I don't really get it: "In 1743 he was elected heir to the throne of Sweden by the Hat faction in order that they might obtain....." seems somehow inadequate. Can we please get some greater context? MrZaius talk  18:34, 21 August 2007 (UTC)


 * He became heir to the throne as a request of Russia, Following the Russo-Swedish War of 1741 to 1743 140.141.142.210 (talk) 16:20, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

He more or less got elected by the National assembly after a choatic war against Russia And Frederich didn't have any suitable heir. He was Descended from a female line of the House of Vasa and was the uncle of Charles Frederick, Duke of Holstein-Gottorp who got passed over after the death of Charles XII.

 * It also had something to do with pressure from Russia since Adolf was a relative of the Emperor of Russia. Plus Sweden was an elective monarchy up till recent times. Family relation doesn't matter because Adolf's dynasty was later replaced by the Bernadottes, who had no blood ties to any Kings of Sweden at all.--Queen Elizabeth II&#39;s Little Spy (talk) 08:17, 1 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Sweden was not an elective monarchy, but a crown prince had to be elected since the then king Frederick I had no legal heirs. When French Marshal Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte was elected crown prince the country was in the same situation. King Charles XIII, son of Adolf Frederick, was old and had no heirs. - On the whole, this article should not be relied upon. It reminds me of the English history satire 1066 and All That.
 * Adolf Frederick was clearly a Bad King who died from overeating (supposedly). Roufu (talk) 21:06, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

Is this true
I know the Daily Mail is not reliable at all but I was wondering if there was any truth to the claim that he was attracted to amputees as stated in this article. I couldn't find anything about it on the internet. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-4006338/From-man-sex-bin-liner-woman-fed-husband-s-penis-duck-bizarre-sexual-behavior-world-revealed.html
