He was one of Napoleon's marshals, an experienced military commander who had a good track record of treating Swedish POWs well
>somehow
The Swedes had a succession crisis, had recently lost Finland to Russia and France was the dominant power in Europe at the time. Ergo, the Swedish Riksdag chose someone an experienced military commander with ties to the most militarily powerful nation on the continent, in the hopes of regaining Finland or at the very least defending themselves from future wars with Russia. There's absolutely nothing random or arbitrary about Bernadotte's ascension to the Swedish throne.

he looks so painfully French it hurts, but he technically wasn't, he was German

He was Basque actually

Yes anon, Monarchy is retarded and the ancestry/blood of a King is meaningless at the end of the day. Most monarchies in Europe at some stage were ruled by someone who's roots are somewhere else.

Still the case today.

I think Belgium has its own dynasty that originated in Belgium, and the Netherlands dynasty is only half-Dutch iirc.

It is so embarassing that nordics have never shined as bright as meds have, just as aristotle said the best spirit lies around the mediterranean and anything north or south is just noise.
nords, niggers, jews, arabs, and celt cant compete with the med spirit

They are all Germans. Bernadottes married German princesses in almost every generation. The Belgian dynasty is actually of the same dynasty as the British dynasty, the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, cadet branch of the House of Wettin, and they too got German spouses in almost every generation. The House of Orange is a cadet branch of the House of Nassau, and of course, they too married Germans in almost every generation.
If anyone isn't German it's the Spanish Bourbons as they frequently married other Bourbons, but the present kings mother was from the House of Oldenburg so he's probably majority German too.

>>18540005
Ah, yes. The classic German physical traits like curly brown hair and a rounded nose. Not to mention his olive skin and dark eyes.
