I'm aware of the titles given to British and French princes but what titles were given to princes in the Scandinavian monarchies? It seems like Danish and Norwegian royalty were just styled princes...anyone knows about a ducal title? And the Swedes...they had duchies for a long time, but as actually a land the Duke would rule. Even in the 1600s Karl X Gustav was the Duke of Öland and his brother Adolf of Stegeborg but then it seems to be ignored until nominal titles were given in 1772 IIRC. But how did they choose which son to give what? Any kind of rule? It doesn' t seem like those titles were hereditary. Was there a special title for the heir like the English Prince of Wales? I think something like a "Prince of Svealand" or "Prince of Götaland" would be awesome.
And I think I've read smt about Södermanland being a title for a second son, like the Duchy of York.
So if anyone has any information about at least one of those kingdoms I would appreciate it.
