Monarchy of Finland

The nation of Finland has never been an independent sovereign monarchy; no attempt to establish a fully fledged Finnish monarchy has been successful. When it finally became established as a modern independent nation-state, it was – despite a very brief flirtation with monarchy – in the form of a republic.

The only royalty who are buried in Finland are the wife of King Eric XIV of Sweden, Queen Karin Månsdotter, and her daughter Sigrid of Sweden (1566–1633).
