The title of King of the Goths (Swedish: Götes konung; Danish: Goternes konge; Latin: gothorum rex) was for many centuries borne by both the kings of Sweden and the kings of Denmark. In the Swedish case, the reference is to Götaland (land of the Geats); in the Danish case, to the island of Gotland (land of the Gutes).
