		Denmark was helplessly caught in the conflict between Napoleon and the rest of Europe.

	Gorm the Old - Definition, explanation
		Gorm the Old (Gorm den Gamle) was King of Denmark in the mid-900s.
		Often maligned as a cruel old dotard and a staunch heathen, Gorm was probably born around 910-915, and died in late 958 according to dendrochronological studies of the wood in his burial chamber.
		Gorm was neither old nor unwise; when correctly interpreted, early sources point to him as being open-minded and pragmatic as far as Denmark's relationship with the Christian neighbors to the south was concerned, but earlier historians often confused him with his father who supposedly withstood the coming of Christianity for as long as he lived.
