List of Swedish queens and regent consorts

"This is a list of Swedish queens and regent consorts. This list covers a large time span and the role of a queen has changed much over the centuries. The queens uptil c. 1000 are often semi-legendary. Due to unions with Denmark and Norway, many of the queens listed from 1380-1520 were also queens of Denmark, and the queens listed from 1814-1905 were also queens of Norway."
