 Christian I of Denmark
Christian I Christian I of Denmark (1426 – 1481), Danish monarch and union king of Denmark (1448 – 1481), Norway (1450 – 1481) and Sweden (1457 – 1464), under the Kalmar Union.
The throne had originally been left vacant at the death of Christian's predecessor in Denmark, king Christopher of Norway, and was briefly occupied in 1449 by the Swedish rival (who was not of blood of Norwegian kings), Charles Knutsson (Charles I of Norway) who however became deposed in Norway in 1450.
Denmark was his most important center of power, and the hereditary Kingdom of Norway produced his heirs a bulwark which made other, elective monarchies to choose them, in order to preserve the union.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Denmark
In 1539 John Bugenhagen came to Denmark with the avowed purpose of establishing a new liturgy and to consecrate Lutheran bishops.
His brother, Christopher II, was compelled to swear to a capitulation, at his election, and, since he did not abide by it, was expelled by the magnates under Count Gert of Holstein, who obtained the election of his sister's son, Duke Waldemar, as the third king of that name.
In the former kingdom Charles Knutsson was raised to the throne; in Denmark and in Norway Count Christian of Oldenburg, the husband of Christopher's widow, and with him the house of Oldenburg, succeeded to the sovereignty.

 Christopher I of Denmark - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
While trying to have his brother Eric IV of Denmark, who was murdered in 1250, supposedly by king Abel, canonized, Christopher found himself excommunicated from the Catholic church.
His men had arrested and humiliated the proud and self-righteous arch bishop Jakob Erlandsen after Erlandsen had refused to recognize Christopher's son Eric as his (Christopher's) successor, but the excommunication had little or no effect, and Christopher was buried in Christian soil by the bishop of Ribe upon his death on May 29, 1259.
Some claimed that the King died very unexpectedly and shortly after taking the holy communion, but proof that he was in fact poisoned have never been offered, although Christopher's allies apparently took to calling him "Krist-Offer" (Christ's sacrifice).
