	Schleswig-Holstein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The former Duchy of Holstein constitutes the southern part of Schleswig-Holstein, whereas Southern Schleswig constitutes the northern part.
		The Duchy of Schleswig was originally an integrated part of Denmark, but was in medieval times established as a fief under the Kingdom of Denmark, with the same relation to the Danish Crown as for example Brandenburg or Bavaria had to the German Emperor.
		The exception is that Schleswig had never been part of Germany before the Second War of Schleswig in 1864.

	Schleswig - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Schleswig was together with Holstein the cause for several disputes between Germany and Denmark in the 19th century.

		From 1864 Schleswig-Holstein was part of Prussia until a referendum in 1920 resulted in Northern Schleswig joining Denmark, whereas Southern Schleswig voted to remain a part of Germany.

		The eldest surviving village bylaw from the duchy of Schleswig: Solderup 1543
		No bylaw documents are to be found in the southwest of the duchy which is explained by the fact that the landed gentry and their system prevailed in that region; in many districts of the marshy west coast, the same phenomenon can be explained by the different forms of settlement and economy.
		In the Duchy of Schleswig, most of the documents were written in the name of the villages.

	Schleswig, former duchy, Germany and Denmark. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		The duchy of Schleswig, created in 1115, was a hereditary fief held from the kings of Denmark.
		His descendant, Christian I of Denmark, inherited (1460) both Schleswig and Holstein, but he was obliged to recognize the inseparability of the two territories and to affirm that they were bound to the Danish crown by a personal union only.
		Schleswig and Holstein (which had also become a duchy) underwent complex subdivisions, although theoretically the principle of the inseparability of the two duchies was not violated.

	The Schleswig-Holstein Rebellion
		Because King Christian VIII of Denmark died childless in January 1848, the duchies, according to the law of succession, could have fallen to the ruling house of Oldenburg.
		The cavalry with its two regiments of dragoons was considered the most ineffective branch of the army: the terrain of the duchies was broken with hedges, woods and hills and proved ill-suited to cavalry charges.
		Their point of view was that of strict legitimicy: the Danish king was not their enemy, - he stayed the "unfree" souvereign of the duchies - the enemy was the liberal and national Danish "revolutionary" party which threatened the traditional social order of the common monarchy of Danish and German speaking subjects ("Gesamtstaat").

		The area settled by the Saxons was bounded by the Eider river in the north, the North Sea towards the west, and the Elbe river in the south.

		In 1260, Mechtild, the widow of Duke Abel of Schleswig, mortgages her possessions between the Eider river and the Sliefjord in favour of her brothers the counts Gerhard I and Johann I. Other areas, such as the City of Eckernförde and the Danish Wold, are mortgaged in favour of the Holsteiners.

	GEORG WAITZ - LoveToKnow Article on GEORG WAITZ
		(i8r3-i886), German historian, was born at Flensburg, in the duchy of Schleswig, on the pth of October 1813.
		He was sent to Berlin to represent the interests of the duchies there, and during his absence he was elected by Kiel as a delegate to the national parliament at Frankfort.
		Waitz was an adherent of the party who were eager to bring about a union of the German states under a German emperor; and when the king of Prussia declined the imperial crown the professor withdrew from the assembly in disappointment, and ended his active share in public life.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Schleswig
		The Diocese of Schleswig, though, did not include the whole of the later Duchy of Schleswig, as the north-western part belonged to the Diocese of Ripen, and the Islands of Alsen, Arö and Fehmarn to the Diocese of Funen.
		Thus the duchies Schleswig and Holstein became united at the same time (1326) Waldemar made a law, called the "Constitutio Waldemariana", by which in future the same person could never be the ruler both of Denmark and Schleswig.
		In 1536 Lutheranism was declared the religion of the state by Christian III, the exercise of the Catholic faith was forbidden, and the property of the diocese was confiscated.

		This desire of the "Eider Danes" to separate the Duchy of Schleswig from Holstein was opposed by the people of Schleswig-Holstein, who, being more partial to Germany, demanded that Schleswig be separated from Denmark.
		They consciously dispensed with a formal declaration of the duchies' independence and emphasized they wanted to lead the government in the name of the king because their sovereign was under the influence of the Eider-Dane party and had lost his freedom of political discretion.
		In Olmütz on 29 November 1850, Prussia was pressured by the Great Powers of Europe into agreeing to move against her former allies in Schleswig and Holstein in joint action with Austria in order to establish "constitutional conditions." The conflict between the nationalities was thereby prorogued until the next war, that of 1864.

		March on one hand the constitutional union of the duchy of Schleswig with Denmark was declared, on the other hand it was stated that the duchy should be accorded an independent status in regard to civil administration and also the maintenance of separate courts of law.
		The main substance of this was that a project for an independent status for Schleswig in a somewhat modified form should be made the basis of future negotiations, the alternative proposed was a division of Schleswig by Danevirke.
		The wording of the bill for granting Schleswig an independent status was not at variance with the promises in the programme of Ejderpolitiken, and Count Knuth, the foreign secretary, succeeded in convincing first Sweden, later Russia, of this fact.

		From the 15th century, Holstein was, along with the Danish Duchy of Schleswig, inherited by the Kings of Denmark.
		However, the two duchies were both divided up, with part under the control of the Kings of Denmark, and part under the Dukes of Holstein-Gottorp, a cadet line of the family.
		The duchies were not, however, given to the Prince of Augustenburg, and in 1865 an arrangement was worked out between Prussia and Austria where the Austrians occupied and administered Holstein, while the Prussians did the same in Schleswig.

		Canute was very popular in the duchy of Schleswig-Holstein, where he was employed as king Niels' earl, and Magnus (rightly) viewed Canute as a likely contender for the throne once the ageing king passed away.
		However, when Niels and Magnus landed at Fodevig bay in Scania just before midsummer, determined to finish off Eric once and for all, they were taken by surprise by a contingent of German soldiers on horses, Niels' army were slaughtered before they had time to regroup, and Magnus was slain.
		King Niels himself escaped alive, but inexplicably chose to travel south to Schleswig where people were as ancious as ever to avenge the slain Canute Lavard, and as Niels arrived in the town of Schleswig on June 25th 1134, the air was shimmering with hatred.
