Louisa I af Skandinavien

Louisa I, Empress of Scandinavia (18th June 1705 - 25th October 1795; Louisa Frederika Vilhelmina Margarethe af Wittelsbach) was the third female Empress of Scandinavia, the longest-reigning Scandinavian monarch, and the leader of a reformed, conservative Lutheran court. Inheriting on the day of her birth, following the death of her mother, Margarethe II, Louisa's inheritance of the Scandinavian throne followed her mother's death after childbirth. Louisa, after being coronated in 1723, would go on to reign independently for seventy-four years, with a total reign of ninety years, with a regency of eighteen years (with her grandmother acting as regent).

Louisa was one of two Wittelsbach monarchs to reign over Scandinavia as of her death, with the other being Christopher I, from the Palatinate-Neumarkt branch of the Wittelsbach dynasty. Her early reign was marked by political turmoil, as she was the second female monarch in a row, and of another dynasty, with a foreign female regent. She was the first monarch in two-hundred and fifty-seven years to not be an Oldenburg by birth, though she would later marry an Oldenburg cousin, Carl Albert, therefore having an association with her mother's maiden house.
