| | The United Kingdom of Denmark can be described as a politico-legal manifestation of the fellowship which historically, economically, linguistically and culturally unites the three parts of the country in one nation under the Danish Constitution. | | | It therefore cannot be ruled out that changes to or even a final dissolution of the United Kingdom of Denmark may become relevant in the longer term, especially as there are no signs of a strong Danish desire to try to preserve it against the will of the North Atlantic parts of the country. | | | In recent decades, the trend has been towards greater independence for the North Atlantic parts of the United Kingdom of Denmark. |

| | Royalty.nu - Danish Royalty, Kings and Queens of Denmark |
| | In 1397, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden formed the Kalmar Union under Margaret I. Born a Danish princess, she had married King Haakon VI of Norway. | | | It became a separate state in 1918, but did not end its connection with the Danish monarchy until 1944, when it became a republic. | | | The king's granddaughter, Queen Margrethe, has said, "It is a beautiful and symbolic story, but it is not true." In fact, most Jews in Denmark were never forced to wear armbands; but as the story shows, King Christian's dislike of the Nazis and support for the Jews was well known. |

| | In the north, Wulfstan the Archbishop of York submitted to the new King at Tanshelf in southern Northumbria, but Northumbrian allegiance was not assured since Wulfstan, unbeknown to Eadred, planned to offer the Kingdom of York to a very powerful Viking, Eric Bloodaxe, King of Norway. | | | But this new unification of Northumbria was not enough to prevent the Danish threat and by 1013 Swein Forkbeard, King of Denmark entered the Humber and encamped at Gainsborough. | | | However, Edmund's reign would not last much longer and on May 26, 946 he was the victim of assassination. |

| | King Christian, however, in 1846 published a letter in which he declared the Danish right of succession to be also valid in the duchies, and his successor Frederick VIII (1848-63) was forced by popular assemblies at Copenhagen, soon after he came to the throne, to promise the incorporation of Schleswig into the Danish kingdom. | | | In 1103 or 1104 a separate Danish archdiocese was erected at Lund for all these bishoprics, and, notwithstanding the protests of the Archbishop of Bremen, Schleswig was made a suffragan of Lund. | | | The people, however, accepted all the measures of the Danish government very composedly, as the male line of the royal dynasty would soon be extinct and the female line was, by the Salic law of succession, not capable of succeeding in the duchies, although it could in Denmark. |
