  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.

Valdemar was brought up at the court of the German emperor, Louis of Bavaria, during those miserable years when the realm of Denmark was partitioned among Holstein counts and German Ritte.r, while Scania, " the bread-basket " of the monarchy, sought deliverance from anarchy under the protection of Magnus of Sweden.
But Valdemar was by no means disposed to submit to their dictation, and political conjunctures now brought about actual hostilities between Valdemar and the Hansa, or at least that portion of it known as the Wendish Towns,1 whose commercial interests lay principally in the Baltic.
Valdemar's skilful diplomacy, reinforced by golden arguments, did indeed induce the dukes of Brunswick, Brandenburg and Pomerania to attack the confederates in the rear; but fortune was persistently unfriendly to the Danish king, 1 Rostock, Greifswald, Wismar and Stralsund.

Very different was Valdemar's second conference with Barbarossa, on the banks of the Eider, in 1182, when the two monarchs met as equals in the presence of their respective armies, and a double marriage was arranged between two of Valdemar's daughters and two of the emperor's sons.
The only serious domestic trouble during Valdemar's reign was the rebellion of the Scanian provinces, which objected to the establishment of a strong monarchy inimical to local pretensions and disturbances, and especially to the heavy taxes and tithes necessary to support the new reign of law and order.
Valdemar at once cultivated the friendship of the new emperor; and Frederick, by an imperial brief, issued in December 1214 and subsequently confirmed by Innocent III.

 Rome 1998
Bishop Valdemar was, because of his royal descent and because of his support in Norway, Sweden and Northern Germany, a serious political threat to the Danish king; but the imprisonment of a bishop and an elected archbishop was at the same time an intolerable thing to the pope and especially to pope Innocent.
In 1205, probably late in 1205, king Valdemar agreed to release the bishop from prison on the condition that he should be brought to the pope by a guard that could guarantee that the bishop was not liberated by one of king Valdemar's enemies, Philip August or king Phillip Hohenstaufen.
In January 1210, the kingdom of Denmark was then taken under papal protection because of this crusade; this promise of protection was repeated May 7th 1210, and on that same day, Innocent wrote a comforting letter to Ingeborg and assured her of his support and appealed to her endurance in her time of troubles.

This, however, gave rise to the question whether the interests of the Church were compatible with the policy King Valdemar I of Denmark wished to adopt.
Denmark stood but in the geographic and political periphery of the Empire and hardly roused any serious interest with the Emperor; in many ways Denmark occupied a position not very unlike that of Hungary.
Valdemar I, too, was compelled to adapt himself to the alterations in the power relation, and 1162 saw him on his way to the Imperial Court to swear the promised oath of fealty.
