The style of the Swedish sovereign is the formal mode of address used by the monarch of Sweden. Its precise form has changed over time, either by geopolitical changes or the replacement of ruling house. Traditionally, the monarch's official short title was 'by the Grace of God, King of Sweden, the Goths and the Wends' and have been used since the early modern period.[2] The title of 'King of the Wends' was adopted by Gustav I of Sweden to contend against Christian III of Denmark, who included 'King of the Goths' to the Danish royal style without justification.[3] Later upon their ascensions to the throne, Margrethe II of Denmark and Charles XVI Gustav of Sweden removed all titles except 'Queen of Denmark' and 'King of Sweden' respectively, thus ending nearly five centuries of dispute.
