Carl Bildt (Oldenburg Sweden)

Carl (Nils Daniel Carl) Bildt is the prime minister of Sweden. He was born 15 July 1949 in Halmstad, Sweden, the son of Baron Daniel Bildt and Baroness Kerstin, née Andersson. He is the great-great-grandson of prime minister, Baron Gillis Bildt.

Carl Bildt entered the National Conservative Party of Sweden as a teenager, and was described as a political genius. He succeeded Ulf Adelsohn af Solna as chairman of the National Conservative Party and as prime minister of Sweden in 1986. At the same time, he was created Count Bildt (before that, he was Baron Bildt).

Count Bildt has recently announced his plans to retire from his post, and Baron Fredrik Reinfeldt af Täby is expected so succeed him.

Count Carl Bildt has been married twice: first to Maria "Mia" Bohman, daughter of prime minister Gösta Bohman, and then to Italian Countess Anna Maria Corrazza.
