27 King Charles III John Equestrian Statue in Oslo, Norway

Jean Bernadotte was born in France in 1763. He served as an accomplished military leader under Napoléon Bonaparte. Then he was given the opportunity to succeed Charles XIII who died without an heir. In 1818, he became the Swedish monarch (Charles XIV John) as well as the King of Norway (Charles III John) and ruled until his death in 1844. An interesting side note is Karl III Johan could not speak either Swedish or Norwegian. This bronze equestrian statue by Brynjulf Bergslien was erected in front of the Royal Palace in 1875.
