During his minority the government was entrusted to a regency, and
although the kingdom was kept free from foreign wars, it was misgoverned.
The education of the young king was so neglected that he was nearly
illiterate. In 1672 he assumed the reins of government. Under terms of an
agreement made by the regency, Charles in 1674 entered the Dutch Wars as
an ally of Louis XIV, king of France. The Swedish army and navy were
unprepared for war, and Sweden lost territory, although much of it was
restored by the Peace of Saint-Germain-en-Laye in 1679. Charles, angered
by the military failure, and supported by the burghers and peasants,
instituted reforms that strengthened the armed forces and considerably
reduced the power of the former regents and nobles. In 1682 the Riksdag,
the Swedish legislature, granted the king absolute authority. By a
judicious administration of revenues, he wiped out the public debt,
reorganized the army and navy, and by 1693 was able to dispense with
extraordinary subsidies. Although he had absolute power, he never imposed
a tax without consent; and he published an annual account of revenues and
expenditures. He was succeeded by his son Charles XII.

The first Swedish ruler of the Palatinate dynasty, he became king when his
cousin, Queen Christina, abdicated in his favor. Charles succeeded to the
throne of an almost bankrupt kingdom; nevertheless, he hoped to increase
the territory of the country at the expense of nations weakened by the
Thirty Years' War. In 1655, on the pretext of preventing his cousin, King
John II Casimir of Poland, from seizing the Swedish crown, Charles invaded
Poland. He formed an alliance with Frederick William, elector of
Brandenburg, and was victorious at Warsaw. Soon thereafter Russia,
Denmark, and the Holy Roman Empire all declared war on Sweden, and
Frederick William switched sides when the Poles agreed to recognize his
territorial claims. Charles retired from Poland, but in 1658, leading his
army across the frozen sea, he forced the Danes to capitulate. By the
Treaty of Roskilde, King Frederick II of Denmark ceded all his lands in
southern Sweden to Charles. Hoping for a total conquest of Denmark,
Charles attacked again later in the year but was rebuffed by a stout
Danish defense of Copenhagen. Charles died soon thereafter, and he was
succeeded by his son Charles XI.

"OF LUNEBURG"

Sophie Amalie blev dronning af Danmark i 1648. Hun var datter af hertug Georg af Braunschweig-LXneburg og blev i 1643 gift med den senere Frederik 3. Sammen fik de bl.a. Christian 5.


I den f°rste del af Frederiks regeringsperiode og igen under s°nnen Christian 5. fra 1670 havde Sophie Amalie en vis indflydelse pX de politiske beslutninger. Hun tog aktivt del i opg°ret i begyndelsen af 1650XÇÖerne med Corfitz Ulfeldt og Leonora Christina, som var en ydmygende trussel mod kongeparrets position. Sophie Amalie var formodentlig medvirkende til beslutningen om enevµldens indf°relse. Det skete, mens kongeparrets popularitet var pX sit h°jeste efter den svenske belejring af K°benhavn 1658-60.


Sophie Amalie elskede jagt, og hun var trods rigets dXrlige °konomi midtpunkt for et overdXdigt hofliv med eksklusive luksusgenstande og store fester, som kastede glans over kongemagten. I 1669-73 opf°rtes slottet Sophie Amalienborg, hvor Amalienborg nu ligger; her opholdt hun sig oftest, da hun var blevet enke.

Knight of the Order of the Garter - (396) in 1603

Christian 4. X Konge af Danmark X Norge fra 1588-1648


Christian 4. blev f°dt i 1577 og d°de i 1648. Han var s°n af Frederik 2. og dronning Sophie af Mecklenburg.


Efter Frederik 2. d°de i 1588 blev Danmark ledet af en formynder regering, og i 1596 blev den kun nittenXrige Christian kronet til konge.


Nogen lµrd mand blev Christian 4. aldrig. Han var mere optaget af tilvµrelsens praktiske sider. Han kunne sagtens deltage i teologiske diskussioner og holde foredrag XÇô men hans viden havde han mere fXet gennem samtaler end ved studier.


Christian var mere praktisk orienteret. Han elskede fra barndommen de tekniske fag: mekanik, skibsbygning, navigation og arkitektur, og det mX have vµret en stor oplevelse for ham som femtenXrig at bes°ge den danske astronom Tycho Brahe pX °en Hven og se alle hans besynderlige opfindelser.


Christian 4. var en stor mand, og med Xrene voksede han ogsX en del i bredden, men han bevarede sin r°rlighed til langt op i Xrene.


Man sagde om kongen, at ingen kunne bestige og tilride en utµmmet hest som han, og at heller ingen ville gX ombord pX et skib midt i en storm og betro sig til vinden og b°lgerne.


BXde i ridning, jagt og ringridning var han en stor mester, og hans ilrejser gennem landet var ber°mte. I juli 1619 red han sXledes fra Bredsted til K°benhavn pX 36 timer.


Det var ogsX utroligt hvad han kunne klare af vXde varer. Allerede som ung kunne kun fX f°lge med han i denne retning XÇô og som µldre slog hans konsumeringsevne fremmede iagttagere med forfµrdelse. I 1632 bevµrtede han den engelske gesandt Lord Leicester ved et gilde i GlXckstadt, hvor han t°mte 35 skXle. Selvom han til sidst mXtte bµres bort i sin stol, red han imidlertid ved f°rste daggry ud pX jagt. Leicester mXtte indr°mme, at sk°nt han ofte ses drukken Xmed Omhu varetager sine Forretninger½.


Hertil fortµller Ditlev Ahlefeldt at: den salig kµre Herre, om endsk°nt han ofte og nµsten hver Eftermiddag drak, dog hver Formiddag n°je ekspederede sine Regeringsforretninger.


Hvad b°rn angik, var Christian 4. sµrdeles flittig. Han fik i alt 23 b°rn, 9 drenge og 14 piger.
I 1597 gifter han sig med dronning Anna Kathrine, med hvem han fik seks b°rn. Her iblandt den senere kong Frederik 3.
Allerede inden dronningens d°d i 1612, indleder Christian 4. et forhold til Kirsten Madsdatter. Han fik et barn med elskerinden, og Karen Andersdatter, der afl°ste Kirsten i den kongelige µgteseng, f°dte ham tre b°rn.


Desuden fik kongen tolv b°rn med Kirsten Munk, som han var gift med til venstre hXnd. Et besynderligt forhold, hvor en forelsket 38-Xrig Kong Christian mXtte underskrive en erklµring om at ville gifte sig, for at fX moderens tilladelse til at leve sammen med den 17-Xrige Kirsten Munk. Gift blev de aldrig, men kongen ansX deres samliv for at vµre et µgteskab og underskrev sig i brevene til hende: Din kµre og tro husbond.


Deres mangeXrige forhold endte trist nok med, at Christian 4. beskyldte Kirsten Munk for utroskab og fors°g pX at forgifte ham.


Siden 1629 levede kongen sammen med Vibeke Kruse, med hvem han fik to b°rn.


Som det ikke var helt ualmindeligt pX den tid, d°de otte af Kong Christians b°rn som smX.


Christian 4.s festglµde, sk°nhedssans og skabertrang har givet os varige vµrdier i hans storslXede byggevirksomhed. Han stod bag opf°relsen af bl.a. B°rsen, Regensen, Holmens Kirke, Rosenborg Slot, Trinitatis med RundetXrn, dele af Nyboder, ProviantgXrden og T°jhuset. Han ombyggede Frederiksborg Slot og anlagde Christianshavn, Kristiania, Kristianstad og Kristiansand. Christian 4. er den st°rste bygherre, Norden har haft.


Den st°rste og vanskeligste opgave Christian 4. blev stillet overfor var, at bevare den danske f°rerstilling i Norden overfor Sverige. FlXden blev kraftigt udbygget XÇô men der blev aldrig rigtigt taget initiativ til at organisere en national dansk bondehµr, som kunne stX mXl med den svenske nationalhµr.


Kalmarkrigen 1611-13 mXtte derfor hovedsageligt f°res med dyrt betalte lejetropper, og det lykkedes aldrig at tilf°je svenskerne et afg°rende nederlag, pX trods af at Danmark var overlegent til s°s.


Sit st°rste nederlag led Christian 4., da han, trods modstand fra det danske rigsrXd, blandede sig i den store tyske religionskrig mellem protestanter og katolikker.


Kongen blev fuldstµndig slXet i sit f°rste store slag. Af en hµr pX 20.000 mand havde han kun 80 ryttere tilbage og mXtte flygte over stok og sten til WolfenbXttel. Kongen og hans store hµr blev ellers betragtet som protestanternes sikre bolvµrk mod katolikkerne.


Hans deltagelse i TrediveXrskrigen 1625-29 bragte landet til randen af ruin, bl.a. som f°lge af den tyske feltherre Wallensteins efterf°lgende plyndringstogt til Jylland.


Overraskende nok lykkedes det danskerne at indgX en favorabel fredsaftale, uden afstXelse af landomrXder.
I 1643 rykkede den svenske general Torstenssons tropper op gennem Jylland, der for anden gang indenfor tyve Xr blev besat. Men den danske flXdestyrke stod stµrkt, og i 1644 ledede den 67-Xrige Christian 4. slaget pX Kolberger Heide mellem Femern og Kielerfjord. Det var under dette s°slag at kongen mistede sit ene °je, da en svensk kugle ramte en kanon pX det danske flagskib XTrefoldigheden½. Slaget varede i ti timer og endte med en kneben dansk sejr.


Men Torstenssonkrigen tabte han, og ved Br÷msebrofreden i 1645 mXtte Danmark-Norge afstX landomrXder til Sverige og blev tvungent til at nedsµtte Xresundstolden og den norske told. Hermed oph°rte den mangeXrige danske dominans ogf°rerstilling i Norden, og Christian 4. mXtte herefter i st°rre udstrµkning rette sig efter RigsrXdet.


I 1647 kunne det mµrkes pX Christian 4., at han havde levet sine snart 72 Xr uden at spare sit helbred hverken i felten eller ved bordet. Han overvandt aldrig helt sXrene fra Kolberger Heide og pXdrog sig nu ogsX en mavelidelse. Den 28. februar 1648 d°de han, pX sit elskede Rosenborg, og efterfulgtes af sin s°n Frederik 3. Christian 4. ligger begravet i Roskilde Domkirke.

His first years on the throne were dominated by regents, but after 1596 he
ruled in his own right. An independent but not always judicious ruler, he
was above all a man of action. He built up the Danish navy, encouraged
industry and commerce, established a regular postal service, and founded a
series of new towns; as a builder he left a lasting mark on Copenhagen.
His foreign ventures were less fortunate. Despite personal bravery, he was
an undistinguished military leader, and his war against Sweden in 1611-13
succeeded in halting Swedish expansion into northern Norway mainly because
the Swedes were otherwise engaged. His participation in the Thirty Years'
War was disastrous, although he managed to win a lenient peace at Lübeck
in 1629. Even worse was the second war with Sweden (1643-45) in which
Denmark lost forever considerable territories in the Scandinavian
Peninsula and the Baltic.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

George, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg (17 November 1582, Celle X 2 April 1641, Hildesheim) ruled as Prince of Calenberg from 1635.

He was a son of William, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg (1535X1592) and Dorothea of Denmark (1546X1617). His mother was daughter to Christian III of Denmark and Dorothea of Saxe-Lauenburg. She acted as a regent during the early yearsof his reign, keeping power from the councillors who had mismanaged the estates during his father's fits of insanity.

In the 1635 redivision of the territories of the House of Welf after the death of Frederick Ulrich of Brunswick-Lüneburg, he received the Principality of Calenberg, which included the former Principality of Göttingen since 1495, while his elder brother Augustus retained the Principality of Lüneburg. George was the first duke to move his residence to Hanover where he laid the foundation for the Leineschloss. After his death, he was succeeded by his son Christian Louis.
