.. Carolus Gustavus Suetiae - Anonymous (c.1670)

Description: Antique portrait titled 'Carolus Gustavus Suetiae'. Old portrait of Charles X Gustav of Sweden. Charles X Gustav also Carl Gustav, (1622 – 1660) was King of Sweden from 1654 until his death. His numbering as Charles X derives from a 16th century invention. The Swedish king Charles IX (1604–1611) chose his numeral after studying a fictitious history of Sweden. This king was the fourth actual King Charles, but has never been called Charles IV. Source unknown, to be determined.
