Norway did not establish a monarchy of their own until 1905. The United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway was a union of the separate kingdoms of Sweden and Norway under a common monarch and common foreign policy that lasted from 1814 until its peaceful dissolution in 1905. The Monarch was the Swedish Monarch.
Norway became independent in 1814 with its own constitution. In other words the modern state of Norway with its monarchical form of government was established that year. Norway was later forced into a personal union with Sweden and full independence was first reached in 1905.
