It's worth mentioning that Margrethe II's son, heir apparent after her, is also named Frederik. And *his* first-born son is named... you guessed it, Christian. So really, if you consider Margrethe a honorary Christian, then the pattern continues for at least two more generations.
@@phtuber5469 but Denmark changed the succession law in 2009 so if Christian's eldest child is a daughter, she will become Queen, very likely Margrethe III.
@@TheMoonwalker101 Margrethe II wasn't born to be the Queen, in fact she wasn't eligible to inherit the Throne until the change of the Danish constitution in 1953 when she was 13 years. She is named after her maternal grand mother, the english born Princess Margaret (Margareta) of Sweden, who was married to the future King Gustav VI, but died when Margrethe's mother, the future Queen Ingrid of Denmark was only 10 years old.
4:15 from my understanding he wasn't so much stabbed 56 times by 'an' unknown assassin as he was stabbed by a group og 56 unknown assassins. So that no singular person could be proven to have killed the king and no one of them could deny their involvement.
It's more likely that it was a small group and not actually a full group of 56 people and they just made sure to stab him once for each person involved in the conspiracy. For the reasons you already mentioned.
@@MustafaAtacc Good question. It's been the subject of much speculation, but since we don't actually know who killed him, it's hard to say. Though, with kings, isn't it usually taxes or power someone wanted and didn't get?
Fun fact: Christian IX of Denmark not only lived long enough to see his son Vilhelm become King George I of Greece, and his grandson Carl become King Haakon VII of Norway, but he also lived long enough to see the births of his great-grandsons Frederik IX of Denmark, Olav V of Norway, and Alexander I, George II and Paul I of Greece, all of whom were born within his lifetime.
Another interesting fact is that, genetically speaking, Christian IX of Denmark was so much closer to a sovereign of the British royal family (to king George II, his great-great-grandfather, born in 1683) than to his direct ancestor to the Danish royal dinasty (i.e. Christian III of Denmark, who was born in 1503 and lived 9 generation before him)
@@labbecedario1579 as well as all of them being being related in the direct male line to Charles III of Britain, who is the great-great grandson of Christian IX (in the direct male line). The ancestry goes Christian IX of Denmark-George I of Greece-Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark-Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh-Charles III, King of the UK. And of course, both are directly related in the male line to Harald V of Norway and Margrethe II of Denmark as well.
I know this video is 11 months old, but at 7:54 when it’s said that the UK has not had any Oldenburg kings yet, that did change with the death of Elizabeth II. Patrilineally, Charles III is a descendant of the house of Oldenburg.
Could you do a video on some prominent European noble families? Maybe those who have married into reigning and formerly-reigning dynasties? The Ligne, Lobkowicz, Polignac, etc. families come to mind!
they will never do that. then we know their secret path to the royal families from banks to oil and more. they came to power by lending money to the royal families. Lobkowich is an Askhanazi Jewish family ..it's forbidden to talk about THEM they are victims they say, that way they can split us without us being able to do anything .. Ukraine's president is one of them he was an actor before he became president . it's a joke .. his by name fits with their (Zelensky)
I think Denmark lost Norway because Denmark was on the losing side of the Napoleonic wars, and lost Norway (but not Iceland, faroe Islands and Greenland) to Sweden.
Norway also experienced some amount of weirdness in nationhood too, considering most Norwegians recognises that Norway was independent for a brief time AFTER Denmark but BEFORE Swedish rule... is it at all accurate?
Yes, Denmark got forced into the war by britain. the british attacked Denmarks capital and its fleet holding there (the battle of Copenhagen, 1807), because they were afraid the french would get the danish fleet and therefore compete with the british navy (the danish fleet was among the strongest in europe at the time, after Britain). after that the neutrality status for Denmark ended and they seemed it necessary to join Napoleon.
Would be interesting if you made a chart for Norway, kind of like the Australian king of Britain video. The main perpetrators and theme; Catholicism vs "proto-protestantism", "St." Olaf, Sigurd the Crusader and imperialists vs local thugs. Olaf is the "Forever-king" of Norway, but would there have been a "true" heir other than the current Oldenburgs?
as a dane its really funny hearing the translations - they're not wrong but when you're used to saying "Gorm den gamle" its funny hearing him getting called Gorm the old. And thats not the worst one haha
Its all different lines from the same ancestor tho. Queen Margrethe II is, despite the changes between lines as various lines died out, a direct descendant of Gorm.
@@pedanticradiator1491 that was when the name changed but the family is the same at least from Gorm the old or actually from his dad, but we only know Denmark as a united Country stating from Gorm and completed by his sn Bluetooth that is why we count from there but there are "King of the Danes listed in French sources dating back 100 years the last on the list is the father of Gorm the old
Queen Margrete actually took one of the Christian spots in order to bring the Frederik line up to speed. If you notice, the Frederiks were always a number behind the Christians. But the crown prince is named Frederik and his son is named Christian. So Margrete is really just an honorary Christian.
Bought both European royal family posters awhile ago, and came in handy while watching the beginning of a documentary about the former King of Greece, third cousin and brother-in-law of Magrethe II. He mentioned that his great-grandmother was the brother of a British queen and a Russian empress. His mother's brother was Prince of Hanover...
How do you have the patience to find out these type of things??? I’m impressed, I myself don’t have much viable information, I just know I have Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, African, maaaaybe Greek and arab, and indigenous descendence, very diverse I know, but most of those I know from my dad since my mom’s family are from a small town, and I’m from Brazil which maybe difficult things bcause we normally don’t care about our family origins
I live in the city of Oldenburg in Lower Saxony Germany. I have never heard about the house of Oldenburg, I gotta research it a little and maybe find a connection. Great video.
It's a different Oldenburg, the house is from Oldenburg in modern day Schleswig-Holstein, which was then a danish fief, and thus a cadet branch of the older royal family was given the duchy as a fief, eventually returning the family back to the throne.
Also fun fact: Christian X was also the (only) King of Iceland during the period 1918-1944 when it was an independent Kingdom in a personal union with Denmark, as Kristján X (there being no separate numeral for Iceland).
Here's a chart I would like to see: the Verigin family who are traditionally leaders of the Dukhobor sect. I went to university with JJ, now head of the family.
I want to learn the History of all regions of the world from antiquity to modern but the starting point is always a problem. This channel solves my problem to a large extent
Wow. Having only just having recently learned through DNA testing that I'm actually 1/3 Scandinavian rather than German, French, and British, this was a nice eye-opener -- and it also explains how my ancestors could have physically come from Germany, England, and Wales, but none of my DNA did. The Danish kingdom thing might also explain the touch of Italian DNA in me, too.
I’m writing a retold fairytale of The Seven Ravens/Wild Swams. The 7 brothers are Magnus, Frederick, Christian, Valdemar, Erik, Sweyn, And Olaf, after Danish kings. They aren’t princes but their father is a chieftain of a semi-nomadic forest clan and their sister marries a king of my Russian-influenced kingdom.
Valdemar II was also the king who was rumoured to watch the Dannebrog (Danish Flag) drop from the sky in the year 1209. After his rule Denmark fell into a decline perpertrated by Erik Ploughpenny and Kristoffer II in the early 14th century. Greatness was restored with Valdemar Attedag in the 1350s.
the funny thing is, that Glücksburg is now a very small city with about 6000 citizens but the House of Glücksburg is married to many important european houses
Despite being the descendant of an illegitimate son of the portuguese 1st Duke of Palmela, the most recent king I can find in my family tree is Christian III of Denmark
@@calcaleb7041 and for some unknown reason, the church was against updating it to "son of god" apparently some Jesus guy already have that exclusive title
With that prince Phillip comment… that’s not completely true. He apparently had to give up his titles from Greece and Denmark when he married Elizabeth
He gave up his titles before members of the British Parliament. This "abdication" applied only in Britain. In Greece (up to 1967) and Denmark he was still a Prince.
It is correct that the male ancestry of Christian 9th goes several hundreds of years back, before we find a Danish monarch. However, in female lines, both Christian 9th and his wife queen Louise are great-grandchildren of Frederik 5th, king of Denmark and Norway 1746-1766.
I couldn’t help but notice the absence of Magnus the Good who was king of Denmark between king Canute III (his actual name was not Canute but Harthacnut) and Sweyn II Estridsen… Also Magnus the Good is to this day the only foreign king to sit on the Danish throne, as he was Norwegian. Also he got the throne because him and Harthacnut made an agreement of winner takes all where the last person alive would inherit the other persons kingdom…
Actual name is Knud, I guess, the English call him Canute, coz theyre incapable of pronouncing the kn sound and a soft d. We get a lot of laughs out of the godawful English versions of Danish names!
On my mother's side, the family tree in Denmark goes back to at least 932CE. Not sure about my father's side, but it does go back many generations. It would be fun if there were any blue blood somewhere. LOL!
Technically speaking Princess Albertina Frederica’s older brother Charles III William, Margrave of Baden-Durlach should have become King of Sweden after the death of both Charles XII and his cousin Gustav, Duke of Zweibrücken, but Charles III William’s great-great-great granddaughter (who also happened to be the senior heir of the Holstein-Gottorp kings by male-preference primogeniture, along with the Palatinate-Zweibrücken and Vasa kings) Victoria of Baden married King Gustaf V, meaning although the House of Zähringen does have a semi-Salic claim on the throne, the Bernadotte family in Sweden can trace it’s ancestry to all the dynasties that can after the deposition of Christian II.
Hey. Is it possible to get an updated video on this topic? On 14 January 2024, Queen Margrethe the 2nd abdicated and Denmark got a new king, King Frederik the 10th.
