His mother was Sophia Magdalena of Denmark. Both his parents belonged to the house of Oldenburg. When he inherited the throne, he was still a minor, and his uncle, Duke Charles, became regent. Gustavus Adolphus went to France to study, and in France, he was influenced by revolutionary ideas, and he became a friend of Napoleon Bonaparte, later Emperor Napoleon I.
