Dorothea of Denmark’s claim to Denmark

Margaret of Austria and Frederick II of Palatinate’s son Frederick would marry Dorothea of Denmark in 1530 and get claims to Denmark while in the same time, Margaret of Palatinate, the daughter of Archduchess Margaret would be the second wife for the former constable bourbon due to Charles V not allowing a marriage between Eleanor of Austria and Constable Charles, who would die in 1547.

Dorothea and her son, Henry, as well as her sister, Christina, Duchess of Milan and Lorraine would continually claim Denmark and planned a betrothal of their children to the rulers of the Nordic countries, which would mainly fail.

The marriage of Margaret of Palatinate and the Exiled Constable Charles de Bourbon would produce these children;

Marie de Bourbon b. May 2, 1532 Vladislav III of Bohemia

Louis b. February 10, 1534 m. Jeanne d’Albret

Anne de Bourbon b. June 2, 1542 m. Alfonso II d’ Este

The marriage of Henry of Palatinate and Dorothea of Denmark would produce two children

Henry of Palatinate b. October 2, 1541 m. Lucrezia Maria d’Este

Helena of Palatinate b. 1550 m. Wladyslaw III of Poland
