Order of Sweden From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Order of Jehova (Swedish: Jehovaorden) was a Swedish dynastic order of knighthood instituted in 1606 by King Charles IX of Sweden. The collar of the order was worn by the king alone, as head, although a report indicates that three Swedish princes[1] wore a collar at the coronation of King Charles IX on 15 March 1606.[2]
