Count Oscar Bernadotte of Wisborg

Oscar Carl August Bernadotte, Count of Wisborg (15 November 1859 – 4 October 1953) was the second son of King Oscar II of Sweden and Sofia of Nassau. He was born Prince Oscar, Duke of Gotland. Prince Oscar's marriage to Ebba Henrietta Munck af Fulkila, daughter of Carl Jacob Munck af Fulkila and wife Henrika Ulrika Antoinetta, Baroness Cederström, on March 15, 1888, which had not been given consent by the King, lost him the rights of succession to the Swedish throne and his title. He was, however, invested with the new title Prince Bernadotte. On April 2, 1892, he was given the hereditary title Count of Wisborg by his uncle Adolphe, Grand Duke of Luxembourg, who was previously Duke of Nassau.

Oscar and Ebba had five children, the youngest of whom was (later) Count Folke Bernadotte. In order of age, their children were Maria, Carl, Sofia, Tess, and Folke.
