## Bio

Born Joseph François Oscar Bernadotte on 4 July 1799, he was the only child of Charles XIV John, a former Napoleonic marshal who'd somehow ended up founding Sweden's ruling house. Oscar inherited the Swedish and Norwegian thrones on 8 March 1844 when his father died. Where Charles XIV John had governed with a tight grip, Oscar opened things up: he pursued liberal reforms, eased tensions between the two kingdoms under his crown, and generally made the state work. By 1857 the Riksdag - Sweden's parliament - formally told him he'd done more for the country's material prosperity than any king before him. He died two years later, on 8 July 1859, having proven that an imported dynasty could deliver.
