Looking forward to seeing what you're conjuring up!

Without having much knowledge of Frederik as a person. A percieved weakness I think it is the most likely during this age. Simply due to the earned reputation Sweden have currently.

The plot thickens :o!

A few token aspects of the Danish pov. as I see them. The trade of Oldenburg for Holstein will likely be considered a masterstroke by later Danish Historians, simply put when the great northern war broke out, the immediate goal was to secure Gottorp-Holstein as it was a dagger in the back of...

Personally ? I would love to get something with Denmark in it ;)

Interesting, hum hum. Population wise instead of looking at the (insular?) Danish isles. Instead look towards the much more isolated Faroe Islands, The Faroe Island have a population of 49.000 that is over twice the population of the Orkney (21.000) and Shetland (23.000) if though, if I...

Maybe something after the Oldenburg dynasty, though it is likely a stretch :P

Enjoyed it so far (just noticed it yesterday) I have a few comments on some minor issues (I believe) but I feel like needs correction: You changed the events that resulted in the 2nd Schleswig-war. 1) You wrote that the Danish king wanted to annex both Schleswig and Holstein (if I remember...

Interesting, I will (as a Dane) of course follow this! A few comments: Obviously, I can't help nitpick on this, The Danish-Norwegian conglomerate state that existed in the 17th century was as a matter of fact area wise, one of the largest states in Europe, population wise not so much of...

No Swedish heads rolling off their bodies. If that is a good thing is up to discussion ;) And finally the update that I've really been looking forward to. I can't comment on if Dyveke and co, had such a influence on Christian II as you mention, but I don't think it illogical that without them...

Ending in a cliffhanger ! How unreasonable. Keep it coming ;)

I've been wanting to comment since the last update. Which was excellent. Because I know (at least in my experience) that comments are helpful. So I apologize for not having much to say besides a few things. Really looking forward to next update, I expect it's gonna have a lot of meat on the...

Aww I liked Arthur :P, I wonder if this will have any effect on Danish relationships. While obvious Christian II is grateful as it is quite recent. If the "concessions" that Henry gained was too generous, done in the heat of the moment, then now is the opportunity to change it !

Just.... something.

I know how much comments can help. But unfortunate I have little to add. I nonetheless enjoy the timeline!

It's my understanding that both the Shetland and Orkney islands actually had considerable more people than the Faroes back in the day. As such I don't think it is unreasonable to expect that number to be significant higher. @Jürgen knows more about this than me, but from my understanding if...

What about Syracuse? Unfortunately I don't know a lot about this period, but it is my understanding that Syracuse at its height was a considerable force. If it would be able to consolidate and keep a string of successful tyrants it might be able to pull it off. Starting points for such a pod...

Denmark entered its period of decline after 1241 (and to a lesser degree 1227). So unless you get that butterflied away, no. If butterflied away without weakening Denmark too much. It would be strong enough and populous enough! before the decline Denmark was at a height population wise, that...

I really enjoyed it so far, don't think there any wank going on from a Danish pov. However that comes from the person that argued for some of the changes so take it with some salt ;) Can't speak from a Swedish pov, but the surviving Sture will certainly be interesting ! Also I'm really envious...

I stand corrected. Always associated it with Vienna, that nevertheless does not change that Denmark did not participate in any war on Norway side, and I don't think Denmark would be in any position to aid Norway. 1) no navy, which means Sweden will be able to take control of the sea lanes which...
