During the reigns of Eric XIV and John III of Sweden, the dynasty nouveau of Sweden worked to have some most royal ancestry attached. Similar background also produced the enumeration of Swedish monarchs, Eric taking an unrealistically high regnal number. Some of genealogies are obviously ludicrous, but some bits of it are actually later verified. This list presents some verified descents from early Scandinavian monarchs, over half a millennium preceding Eric, John and Charles.
