Talk:Ancestry of Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden

Number of generations
User:81.224.113.74 has lately added a great many ancestors to this article. I don't think we should have more generations than we are prepared to get complete. (Needless to say, the current number won't ever be complete, and if it were to, the article would be way too big.) The choice of five was originally made because that's what we have in Ancestors of Queen Elizabeth II. Of course, five might not be the optimal number, but I really think we should settle on a number of generations and try to get them complete.

If the idea here is to show how the present king descends from the medieval kings of Sweden, that could go into a separate article (much like Direct descent from William I to Elizabeth II). -- Jao 11:52, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Extremly sorry about that, will editt hat right away.

Before I suddenly found my common sense, I was about to change all the "mother of X" and "father of X" because I thought that was indicating the number of children. Oops! Morhange 19:49, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

The maternal grandmother's ancebry is IMO the most important and interesting of these
I was somewhat horrified when realizing that the ancestry of Sibylla's mother, the princess of Slesvig-Holstein, was omitted from this tabulation. In my opinion, when looking at Carl Gussie's true Swedish origins, his all other grandparents are a pale lot indeed, some Germans and half-German Brits and suchlike, whereas the dukes of Schleswig-Holstein number a close ancestry from Scandinavian high nobility and from medieval kings of Sweden and other Scandinavian countries.
