- {geni:occupation} Queen Consort to Scotland (1469 - 1486), X X, XXXXXXXX XX OLDENBURG
{geni:about_me} *In July 1469 (at age 13), at Holyrood Abbey, she married James III, King of Scots (1460-88). Her father, King Christian I of Denmark and also of Norway, agreed on a remarkable dowry to her. He however was strained in cash, so the islands of Orkney and Shetland, Norwegian crown possessions, were pledged as security until the dowry was to be paid. The islands still belongs to Scotland
*William Sinclair, 1st Earl of Caithness was at that time the Norse Earl of Orkney, who was made in 1473 to exchange his Orkney fief to castle Ravenscraig, so the Scottish throne took the earl's rights in the islands too.
*This marriage produced three sons:
>James IV (17 March 1473 - 9 September 1513), James Stewart, Duke of Ross (March 1476 - January 1504), and John Stewart, Earl of Mar (December 1479 - 1503).
