Features: This book is one of the "World Royal Families" series. Based on historical facts and written in a literary style, the authors present the charm of the ancient and mysterious Danish royal family to the world. The Danish monarchs and royal members of various dynasties come to life: Harald Bluetooth's strategic brilliance, Christian I's extraordinary character, King Christian IX's distinguished presence, and now Queen Margrethe's noble elegance and overflowing talent. The history of the Danish royal family is glorious yet awe-inspiring, even tinged with tragedy. At its peak, Danish monarchs once ruled England and conquered Normandy in France, their royal authority revered across the world. During its decline, however, the Danish monarchy suffered devastating defeats, lost territory to seek peace, and even had its dazzling crown humbled.
