I would have rather seen a discussion. Yes, the man is probably more well known in English as Gustaf but his official royal name, due to the fact that he died long before 1900, was Gustav, which has commonly been misspelled since Gustaf became the official dynastic spelling already after 1907 through the accession to the throne of his nephew
Gustaf V of Sweden. I've added Gustav to the lede.

SergeWoodzing: Sorry if I shouldn't have made the move unilaterally, but I didn't know about such spelling differences through time and thought it was no big deal. So do you want to revert the move or keep it this way? Thanks for your attention.

Yes, in principle, because that would be correct (that in fact was his name).
No, because I'm pretty sure it would fly in the face of WP:s ever-lovin' most frequent use policy.
