Information About

Governor-general In The Swedish Realm




The term Viceroy is better reserved for the Stattholder , the representative of the Swedish Monarch in Norway when that neighbouring country was in (voluntary) personal union with Sweden, as it concerns a whole kingdom, and notably in the several cases where the incumbent was no lesser then the Swedish Crown prince.

Governors-General could also be appointed, over parts of Sweden Proper , today's Sweden and Finland , and usually consisting of several Counties in that part of the country, when circumstances so required. When this happened the Royal Governor of each county would report to the Governor-General instead of directly to the Monarch or the Privy Council. A Royal Governor, regardless if whether under a Governor-General or not, held the civil, but not the military, jurisdiction over his county. The Governors-General were always members of the Privy Council .

The list of Governors-General is not complete. Some of the listed held the title Governor, not Governor-General.
