	Christopher of Bavaria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Christopher of Bavaria, known by his Danish and Norwegian title as Christoffer (III) af/av Bayern and by his Swedish title as Kristofer av Bayern (26 February 1418-6 January 1448) was union king of Denmark and Norway (1440-1448), and of Sweden (1441-1448).
		As the nephew of Eric of Pomerania, Christopher being rather unfamiliar to Scandinavian conditions was chosen by the Danish nobility as the successor to his uncle, first as regent from 1439, and then as king from 1440.
		In 1441 Christopher crushed a great peasant rebellion in Northern Jutland (one of the central domestic events of his short rule) and as a whole his reign meant a growing suppression of the peasantry especially in Eastern Denmark.

		Christopher was exceedingly wise, and had observed that the Lord assisted those of the heathen who believed just as much as he assisted Christians.
		Christopher told the soldiers to take him to the palace in chains in order that they might not be blamed for not manacling him, for that had been the king's command.
		Christopher was then bound and placed on a bed of brass, a large heap of fire-wood was put upon him, and thirty flagons of oil poured over it; and then a great fire was lit.

		Eric finally took flight, and the Danish council called in CHRISTOPHER (of Bavaria), nephew of Eric, who again ruled all three countries (elected in Sweden, 1440; in Norway, 1442).
		His reign marked the nadir of the monarchy, for Christopher was entirely dependent on the Hansa towns and was obliged to renew all their privileges, despite protests from the Danish burghers.
		Christian kept a great state, but his court, like that of Christopher and Eric, was filled with Germans, and he was financially dependent on the Hansa cities.

		Christopher of Bavaria died in 1448 and as he didn't have any children the Swedish national assembly elected former leader Karl Knutsson to be king of Sweden as well as putting him on the Norwegian throne.
		The Kalmar union - the nordic union from Christopher of Bavaria's reign – had disintegrated for if there was something the Danes didn't want it was to have a Swedish king.
		By considering Adolf 8., the duke of Schleswig-Holstein, as king, the prospect was to tie not only South Jutland but all of Schleswig-Holstein to the kingdom – but the 47 year old thought he was too old and appointed his nephew, the young count Christian of Oldenburg.

		Firstly, it treats the complicated course of events in detail which made Christopher, born in Germany, King of Denmark, Norway and Sweden as a continuation of the Union between the Nordic countries, which was established 1397 in Kalmar.
		It is shown that Christopher's plan quickly to establish a strong monarchy in the Union was impeded by Denmark's politico-commercial status as well as the peasant risings in the spring of 1441.
		Subsequently, the Nordic co-operation was limited to Nordic assemblies and bilateral treaties, and this is explained by the Swedish demands for independence as expressed in King Christopher's provisional royal vow.

		In fact, if the present crisis has any longer-term lesson, it is that the German CDU may follow its Italian counterpart into the shadows, should its social role become eclipsed by the need to secure gains for its big-business backers.
		In solidly "fl" Bavaria, its Christian Social Union (CSU) ally lost 9% of its vote; perhaps because Angela Merkel was female, Ossi, Protestant and divorced - but perhaps because Bavarians took the "German Thatcher" label seriously and feared that the CSU's future would be as dire as the Tories'.

		The Swan King -- Ludwig II of Bavaria -- Christopher McIntosh
		A man of wildly eccentric temperament and touched by a rare, imaginative genius, Ludwig II of Bavaria is remembered both for his patronage of Richard Wagner and for the fabulous palaces which he created as part of a dream world to escape the responsibilities of state.
		In realization of his fantasies, he created a ferment of creativity among artists and craftsmen, although his neglect of Bavaria's political interests made powerful enemies among those critical of his self-indulgence and excesses.
