	Margaret I of Denmark
		Margaret I Queen of Denmark and Norway, Regent of Sweden (1353 - October 28, 1412) was born in Vordingborg Castle, the daughter of Valdemar IV of Denmark[?].
		By this compact, moreover, the chronically rebellious Jutish nobility lost the support they had hitherto always found in Schleswig-Holstein, and Margaret, free from all fear of domestic sedition, could now give her undivided attention to Sweden, where the mutinous nobles were already in arms against their unpopular king, Albert of Mecklenburg.
		At a conference held at Dalaborg[?] Castle, in March 1388, the Swedes were compelled to accept all Margaret's conditions, elected her "Sovereign Lady and Ruler", and engaged to accept from her any king she chose to appoint.

		The strategy of Vordingborg is based on three elements: city as a portal to South Zealand and the islands, a historic and cultural capital and a blue and green pearl idea.
		As royal city and with the history connected to Vordingborg Castle, The Goose Tower and surrounding manors, Vordingborg has "a good story" to tell the guest.
		Development of the historic and cultural capital is promoted in the following ways: expansion and further visualization of the historic and cultural starting point, further development of communication of the historic and cultural starting point, search for combinations and development of new tourist products and expansion of cooperation between local, regional and national participants.
