Topic: Olav V of Norway


  
  Olav V of Norway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Olav was in any case a biological son of Maud (Haakon's own first cousin), who was daughter of Queen Alexandra, herself daughter of Louise of Hesse and Christian IX of Denmark.
As biological son of Maud, Olav V is the great-great-grandnephew of the 1814 King Christian Frederick of Norway.
The only significant Norwegian dynasty in that case not ancestors of Olav would be that of Haakon's mother Lovisa of Sweden, daughter of Charles IV of Norway and descendant of Bernadotte kings of Norway, i.e Charles III John of Norway and Oscar I of Norway.
