  Valdemar II of Denmark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Valdemar II (1170–1241), called Valdemar the Conqueror or Valdemar the Victorious, was the King of Denmark from 1202 until 1241.
Denmark was at the height of its power but in 1223 Valdemar was captured by his vassal, the Count of Schwerin and was released in 1226 only at the condition of giving up most of his conquests in north Germany.
King Valdemar also had at least two bastard sons, Canute (Knud) whom he elevated as Duke of Reval (Estonia), Laaland, and Blekinge, born of a noblewoman Helena Guttormsdotter of Swedish birth and wife of an important Danish nobleman, and Nicolas (Niels) whom he elevated as Count of Halland.

 Style: Recomposing "Valdemar": Graham Greene reweaves a tale by Poe - The Short Story: Theory and Practice   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
As I will argue, Valdemar and Weaver can both be read as inscribed figures for their narratives' own discourse: each of the characters is central to his respective story and each story ends with the rapid decomposition of the character.
Poe's "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar" is both the model for and the precursor of Greene's story, but Greene's reworking of Poe's tale is highly suggestive insofar as it reveals several properties of narrative itself.
In Valdemar and in Weaver as well, we have figures for a narrative that is a site of suspension between a beginning and an end, between the proposal of an enigma and its solution.
