Confusingly named category for a person who on enwp is called en:Charles VII of Sweden. Anyway, who needs a category for two drawings of the same seal? /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 17:44, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If it is important to you that kings of Sweden continue to be called Charles in English after 1973 and that this one has had the wrong number for about 400 years, by all means rename the category to Charles VII of Sweden or Charles (Swedish king 1167)! One can hardly claim that this one is known in English as Charles VII since it is doubtful he is known in English at all. As to the amount of pics, you'll be busy! There already are hundreds of categories with only one image. I usually don't create one unless there are at least two. In this case, one seal has a mustache, which some historians believe was there before the wax wore down. The other (worn) version doesn't. That's why there are two versions of what historians feel the original seal looked like. EmilEikS (talk) 21:33, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This guy is never called "Carl I" in authoritative sources. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 07:33, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
