  • How to Legitimate Rebellion and Condemn Usurpation of the Crown: Discourses of Fidelity and Treason in the Gesta Danorum of Saxo Grammaticus
    HOW TO LEGITIMATE REBELLION AND CONDEMN USURPATION OF THE CROWN: DISCOURSES OF FIDELITY AND TREASON IN THE GESTA DANORUM OF SAXO GRAMMATICUS Lars Hermanson The Danish historian Saxo Grammaticus’s voluminous work Gesta Dano- rum, composed c. 1190–1210, tells the story of the Danish people from pre- historic times until Knud VI’s conquest of Pomerania in 1185. Here I will deal with the period c. 1146–1178, in which Saxo tells how Duke Valdemar gained the throne and how he later had to defend his position against his kinsmen who tried to usurp the crown. Saxo Grammaticus and the Historical Background Ever since the assassination of Valdemar’s father Knud Lavard in 1131, Denmark had been a country torn by civil wars, as different branches of the royal family vied for the kingship. The Scandinavian bilateral system of kinship implied that the combatants’ hereditary claims were more or less equal. They were all descendants of King Svend Estridsen, who dur- ing the later part of the eleventh century had restored and enlarged the royal patrimony (see Figure 1: Descendants of Svend Estridsen). In order to gain the upper hand over their opponents, the contenders each cre- ated action groups composed of hand-picked kinsmen and allies from among the leading magnates of the realm.1 During the 1140s and 1150s the most powerful aristocratic network was the Trund clan, first and foremost represented by the renowned Archbishop Eskil. The “Trunds” possessed large estates and occupied high offices within the church and the royal administration. Between 1146 and 1157 a fierce war was fought between kings Svend Grathe (Erik Svendsen’s lineage) and Knud Magnussen (Niels Svendsen’s lineage).

Hun var en af de mange adelsdøtre, derfor anses for et ejendommeligt tilfælde, at som Svend Estridsens fik barn med.

Sammenfaldene gjorde på den tid. kan skyldes, at en kvinde på kongens mors side blev gift med Skjalm eller hans far, så landsbyen blev mødrene arv i Hvide-slægten. Hvorfor nævnte Saxo aldrig årsagen til fællesskabet mellem de to slægter, som han ellers svælgede i? Ærkebispens Saxo ville næppe skrive sort på hvidt, at den svenske kong Sverker, som Hviderne på den tid støttede i tronkampe, i så fald var født i strid med reglerne om kirkeligt incest, der forbød ægteskab inden for 7 slægtsled - selv om de var ved at blive lempet. Dette kan være årsagen til, at Figur 1. Jørlunde Kirke opført ca. 1100 helt i frådsten. sammenhængene er så uklare og udokumenterede, trods en måske enkel og sandsynlig forklaring. Hvideslægtens stamfar, Skjalm Hvide, som levede omkring år 1100, antages at komme fra Alsted Uanset årsagen til ejerskabet ser det ud til, at Herred ved Fjenneslev og Sorø, hvor sønnerne Hviderne bredte sig over hele Naturparken, hvor de oprettede Sorø Kloster. kunne hindre trafik på hovedruterne nordfra mod Roskilde og Ringsted – og måske opkræve afgifter Der ses i de følgende 100 år et tæt sammenhold ved tunneldalenes få overgange.

  • Scandinavian Kingship Transformed Succession, Acquisition and Consolidation in the Twelfth and Thirteenth Centuries
    Scandinavian Kingship Transformed Succession, Acquisition and Consolidation in the Twelfth and Thirteenth Centuries Thomas Glærum Malo Tollefsen Submission for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Cardiff University – School of History, Archaeology, and Religion March 2020 0 Abstract This is a comparative study of Scandinavian kingship in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, based on the themes of succession, acquisition, and consolidation of power. These themes con- stitute the study’s overarching questions: How did a king become a king? How did he keep his kingdom? And finally, how did he pass it on? In order to provide answers to these question this study will consider first the Scandina- vian rules of succession, what they were, to whom they gave succession rights, as well as the order of succession. Second, the study will look at different ways in which kings acquired the kingship, such as through trial by combat and designation succession. Third, the study will look at what happens when succession rules were completely disregarded and children were being made kings, by looking at the processes involved in achieving this as well as asking who the real kingmakers of twelfth century Denmark were. Finally, the study will determine how kings consolidated their power. This study shows, that despite some Scandinavian peculiarities, kingship in Scandinavia was not fundamentally different from European kingship in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. It also shows that the practice of kingship was dependent on political circumstances making it impossible to draw general conclusions spanning centuries and vast geographical regions. We can look at principles that gave us a general framework, but individual cases were determined by circumstance.

CHRISTENSEN^ One of the most romantic characters in Danish- American history is Frederik Lange Grundtvig, dreamer, poet, naturalist, minister, and promoter of Danish- American ideals. Frederik Lange was the youngest son of Nicolaj Frederik Severin Grundtvig, the most striking person- ality in Nineteenth Century Denmark, and through him a scion of the famous Skjalm Hvide family—the Adams family of Denmark. His mother, Marie Toft Grundtvig, was the heiress to a large country estate. He lived a sheltered life in childhood, for he attended neither pub- lic nor private school, being educated at home. But among his playmates were children of royal blood. At the age of twenty-two he entered the University of Copenhagen where he remained five years, studying first one year of philosophy and then four years of political science. In none of these branches of learning did he afterwards distinguish himself. But he had by- interests which became permanent pursuits.
