    Charles XIV John (* 26 January 1763 in Pau, France as Jean Baptiste Bernadotte; † 8 March 1844 in Stockholm) was first a French Maréchal d'Empire (elevated to prince souverain de Pontecorvo by Napoleon), then Swedish commander-in-chief of the Allied Northern Army against Napoleon, and finally from 1818 to 1844 at the side of his wife Désirée Clary as Charles XIV John King of Sweden and as Charles III John King of Norway. Charles XIV John is the founder of the Swedish royal house of Bernadotte.

      The monument to Charles XIV John in Stockholm, which stands on Slottsbacken in front of the Royal Palace, honours the first king of the Bernadotte dynasty, who was originally a French marshal and became king of Sweden and Norway in the early 19th century.

        Karl XIV Johan (1763-1844) ruled Sweden and Norway from 1811 until his death. The equestrian statue was created by the artist Bengt Erland on behalf of Karl XIV Johan's son in 1854 to mark the 40th anniversary of the union of Sweden and Norway.
