Charles XIII & II also Carl, (スウェーデン語:Karl XIII) (7 October 1748 in Stockholm – 5 February 1818 in Stockholm), was King of Sweden (as ''Charles XIII'') from 1809 and King of Norway (as ''Charles II'') from 1814 until his death. He was the second son of King Adolf Frederick of Sweden and Louisa Ulrika of Prussia, sister of Frederick II of Prussia.〔(''Karl 2 – utdypning'' (Store norske leksikon) )〕 Though known as King Charles XIII in Sweden, he was actually the seventh Swedish king by that name, as Charles IX (reigned 1604–1611) had adopted his numeral after studying a fictitious history of Sweden.〔Article (Karl ) in Nordisk familjebok〕 ==Early life== Prince Charles was appointed grand admiral when he was but few days old. He was described as a good dancer at the amateur theatre of the royal court. Reportedly he was not very close to his mother.The Queen preferred her youngest children, Sophie Albertine and Frederick Adolf.〔Alma Söderhjelm (1945). ''Gustav III:s syskon'' (The siblings of Gustav III) Stockholm: Albert Bonniers Förlag. pp. 28–29. 23033 (Swedish)〕 Charles was, however, his father's favorite, and similar to him in personality.〔Karl XIII, urn:sbl:12358, Svenskt biografiskt lexikon (art av Olof Jägerskiöld), hämtad 2015-02-09.〕 He was also described as close to his brother Gustav during their childhood.〔 Because of his position as the heir to the throne after his elder brother Gustav, he was early targeted as a useful tool for the opposition to his brother: already in the 1760s, the Caps (party) tried to use him against his brother the crown prince through his then love interest countess Brita Horn, daughter of the Cap's politician Adam Horn.〔 Gustav, however, was always careful to prevent Charles from being used by the opposition, which came to its first test during the 1768 crisis, when Charles, ultimately, did not let himself be used by the Caps party.〔 In 1770, he made a journey through Germany and France alone. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles XIII of Sweden」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
