The Pluralistic Government of [Root.Monarch.GetName]

---

Upon succeeding to the throne, [Root.Monarch.GetName] bypassed the Rigsråd and used the chancellery to grant commercial privileges to merchants, overriding the claims of Danish nobles and traders of the Hanseatic League. In 1517 Christian accused the governor of Copenhagen Castle of poisoning his lover Dyveke, and thereafter he ignored the Rigsråd and the royal charter. He created an essentially bourgeois government with the burgomaster of Malmø, Hans Mikkelsen, as his special counselor.

The Scandinavian Constitution

---

In 1481 King Christian I died and left the throne to his son Hans. Since the Battle of Brunkeberg in 1471, Sweden had not been a part of the Union in anything but name. In 1483 the Councils of the Scandinavian kingdoms drafted the Halmstad Recess, an attempt to provide a Scandinavian constitution which asserted the supremacy of the high nobility, but Sten Sture, the chancellor of Sweden, refused to send a delegation to Halmstad. The Swedes delayed signing the document until 1484, and then with certain provisos.

The Great Naval Reform

---

Under King Hans, who came to the throne in 1481, the fleet was given a more organized structure, and during his reign large ships were built by royal order. The 'Engelen' was built in Sønderborg, where there was a good supply of oak for shipbuilding. The 'Maria', which was just as big, seems to have been built in Copenhagen, which has gradually become the home port of the fleet. By 1509 Denmark had one of the largest and best navies in Europe.

Peder Oxe

---

Peder Oxe was a financial genius who was recalled from exile by Frederik II when the Nordic Seven Years War had ruined the Danish economy. With Oxe at the helm from 1567 it did not take long before the state finances had recovered. He convinced the aristocracy to contribute more and reorganized the Sound Due so that the revenues tripled. He also improved the agriculture and educational system. Until his death in 1577, Peder Oxe and a few other lords were the de-facto rulers of Denmark.

The Mercantile Reforms of Christian IV

---

Christian IV was inclined to occupy himself with every minor detail of his administration while losing sight of the larger problems. Not only did he personally lay down the lines of Denmark's mercantilist policy, he even established the import duties, he started state-subsidized and privileged trading companies and manufactories - all of them with no marked success - and insisted on auditing their accounts personally.

The Absolutism

---

Absolutism in Denmark was a result of the lengthy political crisis and the acute state of emergency which resulted from the last of the Karl Gustav wars against Sweden in 1657-60. Despite his weak position when elected king in 1648, Frederik III's political skill allowed him to succeed in ousting two of his main adversaries in the Rigsråd as early as the 1650s. The two were the seneschal Corfitz Ulfeldt and the governor of Norway Hannibal Sehested, who were both married to Frederik's half-sisters. The king's heroic conduct during the siege of Copenhagen in the winter of 1659 had, in addition, made him widely popular at a time when the nobility and the Rigsråd were increasingly being discredited. In October 1660, these events led the estates - the nobility only reluctantly - to create a hereditary monarchy. The new system meant that the king was no longer dependent on the Rigsråd, and he immediately used his new power to introduce absolutism, which was temporarily established on 10 January 1661 in the Hereditary Monarchy Act before being fully set out in Kongeloven (the King's Law) of 1665, the basic law of Danish absolutism.

The Modernization of the Navy

---

The reign of Frederik II saw a marked increase in Danish sea power, and the king took a deep personal interest in building up the fleet. This policy was continued and further developed by his legendary son, Christian IV, who sailed with the fleet every year during his reign. Christian IV's intense interest in the fleet was manifest at all levels, from the naval base at Bremerholm to the duties of his admirals and the equipment of the ships.

Peder Griffenfeld

---

Peder Griffenfeld was perhaps the most brilliant advisor a Danish king has ever had. Peder was born Schumacher to a wealthy Copenhagen family. After study and travel abroad in 1654-62, he returned to enter state service as royal librarian. Soon winning the favor of the absolutist king Frederick III, he became secretary of the king's chamber, in which post he drafted the 1665 Kongeloven ('King's Law'), which was a justification of absolutism. In 1670, the year of the king's death, Schumacher was made Count Griffenfeld. By 1674 he had risen to the post of high chancellor of Denmark under King Christian V.

The Great Northern Conflict

---

In 1697, the 15 years old Charles XII ascended the Swedish throne. Seeing the opportunity, the Russian Czar Peter I allied with Denmark and Poland-Saxony in 1699. However, with British and Dutch naval assistance, Charles XII landed on Zealand and promptly defeated the Danes, then moved to Estland where his badly outnumbered Swedes (1 to 5) won a crushing victory over the Russians. Instead of finishing the Russians, Charles moved against August II of Poland-Saxony and drove him out of Poland in 1704, having the pro-Swedish Stanislaw Leszczynski elected King. Then he subjugated Saxony in 1706. While the Russians started the construction of St Petersburg (1703) and rebuilt their armies, they also took parts of Estland (1704-1706). Charles then decided to march to Moscow via the Ukraine where the Cossacks under Mazeppa had again risen in revolt (1708). The harsh winter and Russian raids decimated his army and he was finally beaten at the battle of Poltava in 1709. The wounded king escaped to the Ottomans. The Russians were encircled by the Ottomans on the Prut River, but Peter succeeded through bribery to obtain a safe conduct in exchange for Azov. While Charles was still exiled in Turkey, Russian, Danish, Hanoverian and even Prussian troops captured most of the Swedish lands around the Baltic. Having emerged from Turkish internment, Charles got killed in 1718 in front of the Norwegian fortress of Frederickshald. Sweden lost most of her Baltic empire in the peace treaties that followed.

The Mercantile Reforms of Christian VI

---

Christian VI was a firm believer in heavy-handed mercantilism and large state controlled manufactories. Although his protectionist reforms did have a positive effect on the for Denmark all-important agriculture, they were mostly costly failures that retarded the commercial development of the nation for decades to come.

Pietism

---

Like his consort, Sophie Magdalene of Brandenburg-Kulmbach, Christian VI was imbued with German pietism and devoutly encouraged a pietistic national church. He banned theater performances on Sundays and holidays, and after 1738 actors and entertainers were not even allowed to enter the country. Frivolous amusements were also banned at court, but the royal couple's love of splendor led to costly buildings, such as Christiansborg Castle (built 1733-45).

The Regency of J.H.E. Bernstorff

---

In 1766 Christian VII was crowned king of Denmark, succeeding his father Frederik V. Christian was unfortunately quite insane. His mental instability has been attributed to a brutal childhood governor and to morally corrupt court pages. After his 1766 marriage to Caroline Matilda, the daughter of Frederick, Prince of Wales, he gave himself up to debauchery. During his entire reign the country was run by others. First up was the foreign minister J.H.E. Bernstorff, a devious and competent man who managed to get Catherine II of Russia to renounce some of her claims to parts of the duchy of Holstein. However, Bernstorff's position grew increasingly precarious and he was dismissed from office on Sep. 15, 1770.

The Regency of Struensee

---

Johann Friedrich Struensee took over as the real ruler of Denmark after Bernstorff was dismissed. Originally a German physician, Struensee came to know the Danish king when he was named to accompany the mentally unstable Christian VII on a European tour (1768-69), a post that led to Struensee's appointment as court physician in 1769. Dominating the king, he became the lover of Queen Caroline Matilda in 1770. He was soon able to abolish the council of state and the office of statholder (governor) of Norway in 1770. In June 1771 he had the king name him privy Cabinet minister, and in July he was made a count. From March 1771 until January 1772 Struensee introduced a number of reforms, including freedom of the press, reduction of peasant labor service, a unitary judiciary, and reform of Copenhagen's municipal government. Having alienated many officials, however, he was the victim of a conspiracy in January 1772, when he was arrested and tortured to death for his liaison with the queen.

The Regency of Ove Høegh-Guldberg

---

Høegh-Guldberg was of humble background. He earned a theology degree in 1753, and in 1761 became professor of rhetoric at Sorø academy. He was appointed tutor to Prince Frederik, half brother of the future king Charles VII, in 1764. As Frederick's private secretary in 1771, he shared Frederik's hostility to Count Johann Friedrich Struensee, then supreme in Denmark through his domination of Christian VII - Høegh-Guldberg took part in a conspiracy that led to Struensee's arrest and execution in 1772. Thereafter, Høegh-Guldberg, along with Prince Frederik and the dowager queen Juliana Maria, gained significant power in the Danish state. In 1774 Høegh-Guldberg was made confidential cabinet secretary. Soon, without consulting the other council ministers, he was issuing orders signed by the incompetent Christian VII. He took over control of foreign policy after dismissing foreign minister Count A.P. Bernstorff in 1780. Høegh-Guldberg was forced out of power during a 1784 coup d'etat led by Prince Frederik.

The Regency of A.P. Bernstorff

---

Recalled to office in April 1784, Bernstorff, until his death, served as foreign minister in a moderate liberal government. He supported a series of reform measures including the regulation of landlord-peasant relations and the emancipation of the serfs. In foreign affairs, Bernstorff carefully pursued a policy of neutrality. When the French Revolution broke out, he condemned any interference in the domestic affairs of France and avoided every anti-French coalition. In March 1794 he negotiated a neutrality treaty with Sweden for protecting the merchant shipping of both countries by combined squadrons. Bernstorff's foreign policy won him the respect of European diplomats - his domestic policy gained him such popularity among the Danes that his death (June 21, 1797) was regarded as a national calamity.

The Great Agricultural Reform

---

Denmark was and is primarily an agricultural nation, and it was one of the first to adopt the new farming methods and tools that were invented in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Fields were reallotted, improved plows were used, crop rotation was introduced and new high-yield crops (potato, Indian corn) from the new world were taken into wide use. Not all of the reforms were greeted with joy by the peasants, but the most unpopular by far involved the splitting of villages into separate farms so that the peasants could live closer to their fields.

Den Anden Store Manddrukning

'In the evening a great storm and bad weather rose from the southwest out of the sea. The wind began to blow so hard that no sleep could touch our eyes. When we had been lying in bed for about an hour my son said to me, 'Father, I feel water dripping into my face.' The waves were rising up at the sea dike and onto the roof of the house. It was a very frightening sound.'

A sudden storm tide has struck the coast of Slesvig and Dithmarschen, overrunning dikes, and covering the entire North Frisian countryside in water. As water levels rise thousands of people are killed or displaced. Entire islands and settlements have been washed away by the waves never to be seen again.

Death of Adolf VIII

---

Since 1439 the entirety of the Duchy of Schleswig has been a hereditary fief under the Danish crown ruled by Count Adolf of Holstein. Adolf's death has left Schleswig without a clear line of succession however even though the deceased duke tried to make arrangements for his favorite nephew, [Root.Monarch.GetName] to inherit both of his titles. The local nobles worry that the Duchy and County could be separated, parting their possessions and costing them dearly.
By guaranteeing the rights of the estates of Schleswig and Holstein as well as compensating other claimants we might be able to acquire both titles.

Schleswig and Holstein are now an indivisible part of our domain even if one is a Danish duchy and the other a Holy Roman County.
In order to keep the titles equal in rank the Holy Roman Emperor has now agreed to elevate the County of Holstein to a duchy, confirming our right not only to the county that Adolf VIII left behind but also to the small province of Dithmarschen to the west.

The State of Denmark

---

Ever since the treaty of Kalmar in 1397 it has been stipulated that the crowns of Norway, Sweden and Denmark rest on one head. Denmark is the seat of this union, the dominant state in the north, and a would-be contender to the influence of the Hanseatic League. Newly crowned [Root.Monarch.GetName] has not inherited a Baltic empire however. His predecessor was deposed after having been defeated by the Hanseatics and now leads a life as a pirate on Gotland in the middle of the Baltic Sea. While the recently introduced Sound Toll is a great source of income the Crown has also been forced to pawn many of its lands to the major noble families of Thott, Gyldenstierne, Rosenkrantz, Rønnow, Frille to pay for the many expenses of keeping the union together and the failed wars of our predecessors.
If we are to prevent royal power from weakening we must get that land back, by any means possible.

Herring Runs Out

---

Once the waters off Skanör-Falsterbo in Skåne were so full of herring that you 'could cut them with a dagger'. Ever since the market of Skåne has been the major entrepôt for Fish export in the Baltic as well as the main entrepôt for any goods coming from Western Europe to the eastern ports.
Lately however the herring has been less bountiful and this year the catch has been so poor that it is impossible to support the market itself. As the Skåne Market dies so does one of the major sources of income for the crown.

India

A group of Merchants lead by Jan de Willum, Herman Rosenkrantz and Roland Crappe, has approached [Root.Monarch.GetName] asking to be given a charter to establish a Danish colony in India. The merchants are varyingly claiming to have already established ties with the 'King of Ceylon' and the Raja of Tanjore and while it is unclear how much is actually behind these claims, it is clear that they do know the area quite well. Should we grant them an Indian Charter they will attempt to establish a Danish presence in India and to further our interests in the region.

What started as a small accident where two children played with candles has grown into a great fire engulfing all of Copenhagen. For four days the fire has spread from house to house in the old medieval city center, entire blocks are gone and tens of thousands have become homeless or killed. The fire has consumed a number of old and prominent buildings, among them the Copenhagen University Library with many of the works from the great minds of our country's past.
An ambitious restructuring plan has been suggested by our architects to rebuild what was lost, with a ban on half-timbered houses and a new network of orderly streets and blocks, far from the old medieval city that was destroyed by the fire. Others however point out that we would be wise to rebuild as quickly as possible, thousands are without homes and there is little room to waste any time...

The Murder of Poul Laxmand

---

The leader of the Royal Council and one of the richest men in the country, Poul Laxmand, has been murdered in broad daylight in Copenhagen. According to eyewitnesses two well-known nobles assaulted Laxmand with a knife and then threw him into a canal. As leader of the Royal Council Laxmand was a force to be reckoned with and not always on good terms with [Root.Monarch.GetName]. There are suspicions that he has not always served the good of the realm first. We might make good use of this incident to further weaken his supporters and confiscate his property. It is however very likely that such actions would reflect very poorly on us and some would think that [Root.Monarch.GetName] might be behind the murder [Root.Monarch.GetHerselfHimself].

Reforms of [Root.Monarch.GetName]

---

Due to our shared position as a Maritime power in the North Sea and the Baltics we have always had close relations with the trading cities of the Low Countries. While Royal Power has traditionally remained strongly tied to the nobility in Denmark however political power has come to rely more and more on the Burghers in the Low Countries. Now however our interests and challenges are so closely aligned that [Root.Monarch.GetName] has been eyeing Dutch political and economic structures for inspiration.
Given free hands our [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] is confident that [Root.Monarch.GetSheHe] could implement a set of far-reaching reforms to empower the Danish Burghers and strengthen our economy significantly.

Religious Debate

---

As the ideas of the Reformation spread through Europe a schism is growing in our country between those who defend the old and those who wish to reform the Church. A staunch follower of Lutheran teachings theologian Hans Tausen has built quite a following and have been able to rely on the protection of local burghers against his opponents within the Church. Others, like the Carmelite Poul Helgesen are critical of the Catholic establishment but reject the ideas of reformation.
The faith of Denmark is clearly swinging in the wind right now and small actions by [Root.Monarch.GetName] can likely have a great influence on our future.

Growth of the Cattle Trade

---

For centuries the Oxen Road has carried armies and merchants up and down the center of Jutland. More than anything however it is used to bring thousands of cattle to the great market of Wedel. From there the oxen are brought via Stade, Hamburg and Lübeck and resold all over northern Germany. As population in the late 16th century continues to soar, both in northern Germany in general and the Baltic region in particular, the demand for cattle, grain and fish is rapidly rising. The size of the herds brought south are now approaching 40 000 oxen for each market.
Export of agricultural produce and especially oxen is earning a fortune of German and Dutch money for our landed nobility and market town burghers. Some worry however that this development is empowering the large estates of the nobility while small time free peasants suffer...

Few embody this ideal as much as Markus Hess, the mayor of Copenhagen and personal head of trading enterprises from the Netherlands to Spain and from Iceland to Estonia.

Corfitz Ulfeldt and the Royal Council

---

The Danish Royal Council of the Realm and the [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] have a long history of disagreeing on the limits of power. The current Rigshofmester, Count Corfitz Ulfeldt, is also the brother-in-law of [Root.Monarch.GetName] and has ambitiously tried to extend the power of the council and the noble families of the realm. Attempts to divorce the count from his office has ended in failure as he has the support of the Nobility and full power of the administration. Ulfeldt is a skilled intrigue-maker and has in the past several times managed to outplay royal power and other adversaries, demonstrating his own authority through various devices.
As the sole administrator of the Sound Toll it is also believed that Ulfeldt may be siphoning significant state income but using this excuse to depose him would likely come at a high political cost.

On Miracles, signs and revelations

---

Throughout his professional life the Bishop of Ribe, Jens Dinesen Jersin, has been a man of renown. Early in his life he attempted to reform Latin education by introducing explanations and translations in Danish rather than Latin itself. Secondly the Bishop is a proponent of a practical pious approach to faith, authoring two immensely popular religious texts, 'Vera via vitae, en riktig vei til det evige liv' and 'Troens kamp oc seier'.
Recently however Jersin has been fighting popular superstition through a text titled 'Om miracler, tegn oc obenbaringer oc deris udleggelse', attempting to free the minds in his diocese of worries about the supernatural.

The Ratification of the Kalmar Union

In 1397, 67 members of the Clergy and Nobility of Denmark, Norway and Sweden signed the treaty in Kalmar, which became known as the Kalmar Union. Although the treaty was signed by nobles and clerics of all of the three Kingdoms, it was never ratified, and as such there was never a uniform legal base for the Kalmar Union to stand on.
In the year [GetYear], the [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] of [Root.GetName] gathered the nobles and clerics of all three Kingdoms yet again at [Root.Capital.GetName].

The State of the Kalmar Union

In the year of 1397, Queen Margaret I of Denmark incepted the Kalmar Union - a rather loose bound between the three Kingdoms of Denmark, Norway and Sweden with Denmark as the ruling power. However, the Act of the Union has never become a law in Sweden and Norway, and as such whenever the king of the Kalmar Union died, the two other Kingdoms had to elect the monarch of Denmark as their own ruler - a task which especially the Swedes have trouble to do.

Additionally to the struggle of keeping the Union together, the Nobility of Denmark itself is a threat to the stability of the Kalmar Union as the attention of the Danish King is split amongst the three Kingdoms. The nobles will regularly try to demand resources from the Crown to pursuit their own goals until their power has been greatly revoked.

Unlike Norway, the Kingdom of Sweden is more difficult to keep within the Union. During the war between Denmark and the Hansa in 1435, Sweden experienced economical issues caused by the Hansa. As a result of it, the miner and nobleman Engelbrekt Engelbrektsson raised a small army of revolters and rebels. The Kalmar Union as we know it today might have ceased to exist already if it was not for his premature death.
It is clear that the Swedish nobility is no longer happy with [Root.GetAdjective] involvement in their affairs. Fortunately for us, some of the Swedish ruling class are pro-unionist. We could use our resources to persuade the remaining nobility and convert them into pro-unionists too.

The Dream of Freedom

Although the [Root.GetAdjective] nobles meant the best for [Root.GetName] when they signed the Kalmar Union treaty, none of our people has the wish to be underneath the Danish Crown. The dream of an independent Sweden is starting to get more and more attractive...

The Scandinavian Constitution

In 1481 King Christian I died and left the throne to his son Hans. Since the Battle of Brunkeberg in 1471, Sweden had not been a part of the Union in anything but name. In 1483 the Councils of the Scandinavian kingdoms drafted the Halmstad Recess, an attempt to provide a Scandinavian constitution which asserted the supremacy of the high nobility, but Sten Sture, the chancellor of Sweden, refused to send a delegation to Halmstad. The Swedes delayed signing the document until 1484, and then with certain provisos.

Discontent of the [Root.GetAdjective] Nobility

With the draft of a Scnadinavian Constitution, the [From.Monarch.GetTitle] of [From.GetName] is preparing the ratification of the Kalmar Union - and our eventual integration into the [From.GetAdjective] Crown. As this constitution is removing power from the [Root.GetAdjective] [Root.GetNobilityOrFallbackName], the discontent within our [Root.GovernmentName] is rising. While pro-unionists try to defend the [From.GetAdjective] decisions, the anti-unionists are preparing their forces for another revolt against the Kalmar Union...

A new Capital for the North Sea Empire?

When Cnut the Great conquered England, he ensured his reign by ruling over England from the city of London while the already secured that the lands of Denmark and Norway were handled by his Norse wife.
After so many centuries, the North Sea Empire is now restored once again, though this time England was not conquered by [Root.GetAdjective] Vikings but by our advanced society. Still, ruling over England will pose a problem due to the distance between [Root.Capital.GetName] and the English lands. It might be worth relocating our capital to London once again.

The Consequences of the Bloodbath

[Root.Monarch.GetTitle] [Root.Monarch.GetName] travelled to the capital of Sweden and invited all Swedish nobles to a great festival to celebrate his coronation. Although hesitantly, the Swedish nobility accepted the invitation and travelled to the center of the capital.
Shortly after the arrival of all the nobles, however, the [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] ordered a trial against the Swedish nobility, and exectued the majority of the nobles for heresy.

While this act was a gruesome one, it was one of necessity for our [Root.GovernmentName]. The Kalmar Union would fall apart if anti-unionist thoughts were to spread further in Sweden. The population of Sweden sees this event as a proof of Danish tyranny though...

The Pretender War of Sweden

Our inactions motivated more and more Swedish nobility to gather their allies and to start open revolts against our rule. However, not all of Sweden see their actions as justified and the atrocities done by the rebels in the name of "freedom and liberty" are causing heavy devastation to the Swedish lands. The nobles are making themselves highly unpopular with the Swedish commoners.
While this Pretender War will be highly costly to our treasury and our manpower, it will at least show the Swedes that the [Root.GetAdjective] rule is not one of tyranny but of justice - unlike the one their nobilites try to enforce.

The Changing Role of the Mercenaries

Ever since the days of the Roman Empire, kings and generals relied on mercenaries for their wars, and [Root.GetName] is no exception to this. But as time went on, the governments of Europe established the concept of standing armies; military forces which are recruited from their own people who can be called to arms in times of need. Our advisors are divided. On the one hand the usage of a standing army guarentees that we are using professional and loyal soldiers for the defense of our ambitions. On the other hand, we would have to be ready to sacrifice good [Root.GetAdjective] lives for our goals.
In the end it is up to the [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] to make the final decision.

The handling the Kalmar Union is a difficult task to [Root.Monarch.GetName] due to the lack of ratification of the Kalmar Union treaty and the clash of the interests of the different union partners and their nobility. The nobles of [dan_rebellious_junior_partner.GetName], for example, see little reason to support the union, nor electing a [Root.Culture.GetName] [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] to rule over them.
But our own [Root.GetNobilityOrFallbackName] is an enemy to the Kalmar Union as well. They exploit the divided attention of [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] [Root.Monarch.GetName] and try to enforce their own demands on the [Root.Monarch.GetTitle].

Yet again, one of the nobles arrived this morning at the [Root.GetAdjective] court in order to siphon resources from the [Root.GetAdjective] Crown for one of their never-ending issues.[Root.GetDanNoblesDemand]

Fall of the Kalmar Union

The Kalmar Union was an act which was supposed to keep the Kingdoms of Denmark, Norway and Sweden together, uniting them into one great power in the North. However, despite our best affords, the Union lost one of the three Kingdoms and as such the status of the Kalmar Union ceases to exist.
