		This Friedrich von Augustenburg had become the symbol of the nationalist German independence-movement in Schleswig-Holstein, after his father in exchange for money had renounced his claims as first in line to inherit the twin-duchies of Schleswig and Holstein, following the London protocol of May 8, 1852, which concluded the First war of Schleswig.

		In the year 1111 the Duke of Saxony and future king and emperor of the Holy Roman Empire created the Earldom of Holstein and named Adolf von Schauenburg as the first Earl of Holstein.
		This strong German cultural and economic influence was demonstrated when the Schauenburg line died out and the Holstein nobility elected to remain tied to Schleswig.
		Since Schleswig was a part of Denmark by hereditary right, the Holstein nobility gave the title to King Christian I in 1460, which he saw enfeoffed to him and raised to the status of a duchy and member of the Holy Roman Empire by the emperor in Rothenburg ob der Taube in 1474 (Degn 84).
