List of Swedish noble families
This is a complete list of Swedish Noble Families introduced at the Riddarhuset. There are also noble families that were not introduced, and these families are referred to as the unintroduced nobility. The unintroduced nobility is not registered in the Riddarhuset, and unlike the introduced nobiliy which is divided into three ranks (Countly families, Baronial families and untitled noble families). The unintroduced nobility contains many different ranks of nobility with Princely families, Ducal families, Marquesses or Markgrafs families, Countly families, Baronial families and untitled noble families. The introduced noble families are listed in the Palace of the Nobility according to the official numbering system which roughly corresponds to the order of introduction. Lower numbers indicate older nobility. Higher numbers indicate later introduction, and usually means that the family belongs to the younger nobility, even though introduction may occasionally not have followed immediately upon ennoblement. In the case of families of Countly or Baronial status, higher numbers indicate that it was raised to a higher title at a later point in time. Branches of the same family may have been introduced under different numbers and may appear in more than one place in the list.
