History

Early kingdom

The Danish monarchy is over 1200 years old, founded in the 8th century (or earlier). The line of kings of the modern kingdom of Denmark can be traced back to Harthacnut father of Gorm the Old (, ), who reigned in the early and mid 10th century. The kingdom itself though is probably a couple of hundred years older than that.

The Danes were united (or more likely reunited) and officially Christianized
