In 1558/1559?
Queen Elizabeth I gains the throne from her sister, Mary I who put England into a personal union with Spain. There are some Catholics throughout the land who want England to revert to Catholicism especially after Mary I. Queen Elizabeth knows she needs to put people of from Catholicism and needs to cement the work done by her father and brother, how could she do this?
At the same time Prince Frederick of Denmark-Norway is the heir to the throne of Denmark-Norway which had been created just 22 years ago after a precarious union of all the Scandinavian states in the 'Kalmar Union' split with Sweden leaving with Finland, thus damaging Denmark's credibility. Frederick needs a good strong nation to help him develop a better and stonger nation and to also help regain land from Sweden, how will he do this?
The answer to both of these is simple, a marriage between Queen Elizabeth and Prince Frederick. The two protestant nations will come together in union like they had done before the Norman's invaded England and so both nations would be strengthened.
