 | | It consists of the peninsula of Jutland (Jylland) in the west, and an archipelago of 406 islands in the east, of which the most important ones are Zealand (Sjælland) on which Copenhagen is located, and Funen (Fyn). |
 | | Scania, Jutland and the islands in-between had been ruled by the same king now and then, for instance under King Godfred in the early 800s, but first with the Christianization of kings and magnates the kingdom of Denmark seems to have become a stabile entity. |
 | | Jutland's main asset is nature, which spans a wide spectrum from lakes, hills, and forests (very like the landscape of Sealand and Funen) to heaths, moors, marsh and dunes, unique to the Jutland landscape. |
