	List of Danish monarchs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is a list of Danish monarchs, that is, the Kings and ruling Queen of Denmark, including Regents of the Kalmar Union.
		The house of Oldenburg held the Danish Crown between 1448 and 1863, when it passed to the house of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg.
		This house appears to have been a branch of the Swedish House of Munsö, as Sweyn's father was Ulf Jarl, who was the son of Thorgils Sprakalägg, the son of the disinherited Swedish prince Styrbjörn the Strong.

		The Danish monarchy is one of the oldest in the world and one of the most firmly established and popular institutions in Denmark.
		The monarchy was originally elective, but in practice the election normally fell on the eldest son of the reigning monarch.
		The Danish crown jewels, which are the monarchâs insignia, consist of the crown, the sceptre (the staff of rule), the globe (the earth), the sword of state and the ampulla.

		Conversely, liberal circles in Copenhagen demanded a democratic constitution for the monarchy and the inclusion within it of Schleswig in it, which conflicted with a long-standing promise that the duchies would never be separated.
		This triggered a revolt in the duchies, and in Copenhagen led to Frederik VII declaring himself constitutional king, thereby paving the way for a democratic constitution which was codified in The Constitution of the Kingdom of Denmark of 5 June 1849.
		The outcome was a humiliating Danish defeat in 1864 and the ceding of all three duchies.

	ROBERT MOLESWORTH
		The monarchy was lengthy and this meant that it was difficult and time consuming to transport troops from one part of the country to another.
		Danish historiography has been suffering from a syndrome stemming from the disastrous military defeat in 1864, I even think that it is older than that.
		Danish historiography has been written as if Denmark of elder times were identical with the present-day small state named Denmark and not part of a comprehensive composite monarchy.

	A brief history of Denmark : Part 2 (800-1536)
		The Danish monarchy seems to have undergone a period of flux in the 10th century, with a short-lived Swedish dynasty (891-934) at Hedeby [Haithabu] in South Jutland, and possibly a brief German rule, ending in 983.
		With Danish dominance over Norway, and with the conquest of large parts of England in 1013 and the establishment of a Danish dynasty in England, the Danish monarchy was the dominant power of the North and Baltic Seas.
		A brief period of attempted Danish expansion in North Germany, from 1301 to 1319, under King Erik VI Menved (whose curious cognomen derives from a common oath or exclamation), failed with the death of the king.

	The American-Scandinavian Foundation: A Very Special Monarchy By Per Egil Hegge
		For one thing, the Danish monarchy is the only one in Europe to have lasted more than a thousand years without interruption (even the British haven't managed that) and it shows in the ways the Danes stick with traditions.
		This was two years after the killing of the Russian tsar and his family, two years after the downfall of the Hapsburg monarchy and the ignominious exile of Kaiser Wilhelm, and the year after the Easter crisis in Denmark, which came close to toppling the Danish monarch, Crown Prince Olav's uncle.
		But this highly original way of resurrecting an ancient monarchy has been a source of strength for, and in, the kingdom of Norway during what will soon be 100 years and it has drawn the nation and the royal family closer to each other.

		The Danish have had the freedom to choose the religion of their choice since the mid-1800.
		Interesting highlights of the Danish culture are that some of the Danish sailors participated in the actions of the Vikings in about the year 800.
		The monarchy would remain as a part of Danish culture after this; it would just have a different function than being the only rule in the government.

	Danish Choral Music - Composers, Works, Choirs - DanishMusic.info
		One of the oldest references to choral singing in Denmark is found around the year 1500, when Queen Christine is known to have ordered the boys of the cathedral schools to sing part-song music for her on several occasions.
		It is true that Danish musical life flourished in the first half of the eighteenth century, when several musical societies were formed, but in terms of choral music the second half of the century was much more fruitful: A number of great works for chorus and orchestra came out.
		Apart from the considerable international part of this repertoire, in which the distinguishable Danish element is limited to the arrangement of existing foreign material, original Danish rhythmic choral music is in fact being composed today.

		Danish is well known among Scandanavian languages, in comparison, for being spoken in a somewhat "shorthand" version-they don't pronounce many parts of words and phrases (listen to any Danish newscast).
		Reading Danish and speaking it have always been very different worlds to me. I understand more of it by ear much better than reading it.
		Imo, Danish might be best learned by ear rather than by reading or studying it in a book.
