    • When her brother Carl XII was away for two years she ruled Sweden between 1712-1713. She became Queen at his death in 1718, but in 1720 she resigned her post in honour of her husband. When Fredrik went abroad 1731 she became the head of the national board. She also headed the national board during Fredriks ilness in 1738.

      Queen 1719-1720
      After her brother's, Carl XII, death 30 of November, she proclaimed herself Queen on 5 of December. The Parliament did not accept that she would have a right to inherite the throne and she was forced to renounce this right. 23 of January she was elected Queen by the Parliament, but in return she had to accept a new constitution, which decreased her power. This period is known as the Freedom time in Swedish history. Crowned in the Cathedral of Uppsala 17 of March 1719. Abdicated on 29 of February 1720 in favour of her husband, Fredrik I. Died 24 of November 1741 in Stockholm.
