    II. Papers C. C. Rafn, J. J. A. Worsaae, Archaeology, History and Danish National Identity in the Schleswig-Holstein Question C. Stephen Briggs ([email protected]) Introduction Between 1789 and 1815 Europe was devastated by a series of intermittent Wars waged by the French. The first part came about through the French Revolution, the second, the Napoleonic Wars, were about Bonaparte’s thirst for conquest. Almost at the end of them, Denmark’s attempted neutrality was to cost her the loss of Norway by cessation to Sweden under the Treaty of Kiel in 1814. The Norwegians felt particularly aggrieved by this, a ploy on the part of the British to disarm the Scandinavians and retain British Naval access to the Baltic. Thus began a half a century of particular national insecurity for Denmark, during which she felt under constant threat from German ambition through an increasingly powerful, predatory Prussia. Schleswig-Holstein was particularly at risk of annexation, because though much of Slesvig was culturally and ethnically Danish, southern Jutland had been strongly infiltrated by German influences unchecked for many decades (Sandiford 1975: 21). With a small population (2,225,000 in 1848) and now detached from those potentially sympathetic in Scandinavia, Denmark would have difficulty effectively opposing any major industrial power. Britain and Germany aside, there was also Russia, still largely undeveloped, but a power with strong Baltic interests. Maintaining Denmark’s borders through this delicately- balanced neutrality was not going to be easy for such a small nation state. Would it be remotely possible to achieve this passively by developing trade? Could enduring borders otherwise be protected by influencing perceptions of Denmark’s historic cultural identity and ethnicity? The Nordic Cultural Background All Scandinavians appreciated the importance of raising an international profile for their past.

    MEMOIR OF THE HONBLE SIR CHARLES PAGET G.C.H. 1778-1839 WITH A SHORT HISTORY OF THE PAGET FAMILY BY THE VERY REV. EDWARD CLARENCE PAGET, D.D. DEAN OF CALGARY, CANADA WITH 13 ILLUSTRATIONS LONGMANS, GREEN AND CO. 39 PATERNOSTER RO\V, LONDON NEW YORK, BOMBAY, AND CALCUTTA 1913 All rights reserved PREFACE A SHORT time ago, in the year 19 1 I, I prepared and had privately printed a Memoir of my grandfather, Vice­ Ad~iral the Honourable Sir Charles Paget, G.C.H. Since then a good deal of additional information has come to hand, especially with regard to his famous action in rescuing the French man-of-war. In August 1912, being in London, I spent. some ti1ne in the National Record Office going through the logs of 1nost of the ships commanded by Sir Charles Paget and making extracts fro1n them. Thanks to the interest taken by Admiral Sir William Kennedy and others, conllllunications ,vere opened with the Misses Schetky, daughters of the famous Marine Painter who painted the " Gallant Rescue," and ,vith great thankfulness I am now able to incorporate in the Memoir their most valuable testimony as to the authenticity of the action. In addition to this my cousin Claude Paget has, with g~eat kindness and labour, supplied · me with helpful suggestions and a good deal of material. I have also to thank my friend Mrs. Grove, daughter of the late Admiral Oliver, for lending to me and shipping out to Calgary her complete set of the forty volumes of the Naval Ch1,.onicle, from which several additiqnal facts, references, and letters have been gleaned ......desire also to express my thanks to Mrs.
