Talk:Swedish nobility

message: Oh, really? What is "Historical significance" in this context? Isn't something of historical importance something that happened in the past? Are todays Swedish nobles in the past? And what social significance is it? The nobles I've met from Sweden doesn't behave differently from "common" people, and I don't think I know anybody who would treat them differently either. Explanations please. --Regebro (talk) 19:59, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Considerable social and historical significance" 

message: The article is ambiguous about the current legal status of the Swedish nobility. On one hand, it appears that nobility is no longer regulated by law and that the registry of noble families is maintained solely by a private corporation. At the same time, however, the article implies that nobility "has not been abolished" in Sweden. What does that mean exactly ? Can someone whose family is introduced in the House Of Nobility use a title or honorific predicate with his legal name and have this title appear for example in official documents like passports or ID cards ? Conversely, if someone whose family is not part of the House of Nobility uses a nobility title, is he/she subject to a fine or some other sanction in law ?  I would appreciate if you could please clarify.161.24.19.44 (talk) 13:43, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Legal Status of the Nobility is unclear

message: Article quote: "With the exception of the current king's sister Désirée who officially and specifically was created a baroness in 1964 by the Swedish government, which is still valid today, the last time a person was ennobled in Sweden was in 1902. From 1974 the monarch can not confer nobility." So how do you explain the King continuing to ennoble his children and grandchildren with ducal titles then? 121.73.7.84 (talk) 11:55, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Those titles are considered royal, not noble, whereas Désirée's is not royal. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 15:34, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  I've read an article which states that the Swedish monarch can make anyone in the line of succession, but only those in the line of succession, a duke or duchess. The article needs to say this. In the British system most English-language readers are likely to be familiar with, the title of duke is still a title of nobility even when held by royalty. Also, the concept that the King's sister is not royal could be confusing to a non-Swedish readership, so that situation needs elaboration. 121.73.7.84 (talk) 17:40, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: That's explained in the articles about those persons, and has no direct connection to the subject of this article. Those titles, I repeat, are royal, not noble. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 14:41, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

text:  I have removed the sentence about the King's sister Desirée. She was not created a baroness by the Government, she simply married a baron. /Elzo 90 (talk) 18:08, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: We normally (normally) discuss before we alter article text. Her title is still recognized todey by the government as given her by the government. Other titles of Swedish nobility are not. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 14:41, 8 April 2017 (UTC)
