Add members of Sweden's noble families to this project. You can visit HistoryLink to find out which projects include your ancestors.

The Swedish nobility is organized into three classes according to a system introduced in 1626:

• Lords (Swedish: Herreklassen), comprising counts (greve) and barons (friherre, baron), two titles introduced in 1561 by Erik XIV
• Knights (Swedish: Riddarklassen), untitled descendants of Swedish Privy Councillors and since 1778 the 300 oldest families in the Class of Esquire as well as the "commander families", who are of the descendants of commanders of Swedish royal orders
• Esquires (Swedish: Svenneklassen), other untitled nobles
