  • Danish Royal Ancestry
    GRANHOLM GENEALOGY DANISH ROYAL ANCESTRY INTRODUCTION Our Danish ancestry is quite comprehensive as it coves a broad range of the history. This presentation is laid out in three different parts. Three lists are included of our ancestors and of our distant cousins. The lists show just one of several paths between the earliest and the present generation. Additional biographical text is included regarding several ancestors; the lists are highlighted when these persons are referred to in the text. The text is mostly from the Internet Wikipedia source and edited for simplicity. The advantage of this is that this text has a language link so the reader can readily see the information in any other language. The first part has our direct ancestors and begins by the Norse/Danish mythical ancestry from King Skjöldr, the son of Odin. That early Norse mythology is covered in the books about our Swedish and Norwegian ancestry. Odin gave Sweden to his son Yngvi and Denmark to his son Skjöldr. Since then the kings of Sweden were called Ynglings and those of Denmark Skjöldungs (Scyldings). This part blends from the mythical era into the Viking era. The distinction between the two eras cannot be clearly defined, in some cases it is obvious in others it must be left to the imagination. Ragnar Lodebrok was one of the important Vikings, he invaded even Paris. His son Sigurd is the forefather of the Danes, his son Björn of the Swedes. The direct lineage with us ends at the time when the Christianity took hold and replaced the Viking era.

  • Master Thesis
    MASTER THESIS Titel der Master Thesis / Title of the Master’s Thesis „Belgium’s Rexist Past: the Problem of Constructing Identity in Belgium“ verfasst von / submitted by Frederick Julian Keith Vincent angestrebter akademischer Grad / in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Advanced International Studies (M.A.I.S.) Wien 2018 / Vienna 2018 Studienkennzahl lt. Studienblatt A 992 940 Postgraduate programme code as it appears on the student record sheet: Universitätslehrgang lt. Studienblatt Internationale Studien / International Studies Postgraduate programme as it appears on the student record sheet: Betreut von / Supervisor: Professor Thomas Row Abstract: This thesis uses the enigmatic Rexist Party as a vehicle into a discussion regarding Belgian national identity, evaluating the actions of the Rexists and any perceivable legacy within the collective memory. The concept of Belgian national identity has proved hard to distinguish throughout time; in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks that rocked Belgium in the early 21st Century, some have gone so far as to say that there is no Belgian identity whatsoever. Traditionally, suggestions for a national identity have centred around the institutions pivotal to Belgian administrative, political, and social life. The topic has been discussed frequently over time, and especially during periods of war. During the build-up to the Second World War the Rexist Party entered this debate and, despite their best efforts, met with opposition on all sides. Addressing Rexism’s interactions with the institutional, political and social spheres in turn, this thesis argues that Belgium’s home-grown Rexist fascism, so often overlooked by Belgians, did indeed leave an impact on the Belgian national identity.

For neutral Belgium shielded Germany against a prospective French invasion, in that the French high command regarded the Rhineland bordering Belgium as vulnerable, but was pessimistic about assaulting Germany's fortified French frontier. The upshot was that Hitler conquered Czechoslovakia without a battle and that the German armies subjugated Poland, then Denmark and Norway, while fighting only a "phony war" in their rear.
