Grand Duke of Finland
Grand Duke of Finland or the Grand Prince of Finland ((スウェーデン語:Storfurste av Finland), (フィンランド語:Suomen suuriruhtinas)) was from around 1580 to 1809 a title in use by most Swedish monarchs. Between 1809 and 1917, it was the official title of the head of the autonomous Grand Duchy of Finland, who was the Emperor of Russia. The anachronistic female form of the title in English is usually ''Grand Princess of Finland'' ((スウェーデン語:Storfurstinna av Finland), (フィンランド語:Suomen suuriruhtinatar)). The only women to have used the title were the Swedish Queens regnant Christina and Ulrika Eleonora. A few crown princes of Sweden also were called ''Grand Prince of Finland''.
==Swedish era until 1809==
Around 1580, King John III of Sweden, who had previously (1556–63) been the Duke of Finland (a royal duke), assumed the subsidiary title ''Grand Prince of Finland'' ((スウェーデン語:Storfurste), (フィンランド語:Suomen suuriruhtinas)) to the titles of the King of Sweden, first appearing is sources in 1581 (though first used by John III 1577).〔(Nordisk Familjebok ), (Virtual Finland )〕 In those years, John was and had been in quarrel with his eastern neighbor, Tsar Ivan IV of Russia, who had a litany of subsidiary titles as Grand Prince of several ancient Russian principalities and provinces. The use of Grand Prince on John's behalf was a countermeasure to signify his mighty position as sovereign of Sweden, also a multinational or multi-country realm, and equal to a Tsardom. Not only was Finland added, but Karelia, Ingria, and Livonia that all were along the Swedish-Russian border. It is said that the first use of the new title was in an occasion to contact Tsar Ivan.
During the next 140 years, the title was used by John's successors on the throne, with the exception of Charles IX who listed Finns as one of the many nations over which he was the king during 1607–1611.〔( Titles of European hereditary rulers, here Sweden ).〕 As the title had only subsidiary nature without any concrete meaning, it was mainly used at very formal occasions along with a long list of additional royal titles. The last Swedish monarch to use the title was Ulrika Eleonora who abdicated in 1720. However, in 1802, King Gustav IV Adolf gave the title to his new-born son, Prince Carl Gustaf, who died three years later.
