House of Glücksburg
Article Talk

Language Watch Edit

This article is about the ducal house that formerly ruled Denmark and Norway. For the elder line, see Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg (elder line).

The House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, better known as the House of Glücksburg, is a collateral branch of the German[1] House of Oldenburg. Its
members have reigned at various times in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Greece, and several northern German states.

Current monarchs King Harald V of Norway and King Charles III of the United Kingdom, as well as the former
House of Glücksburg
Queen of Denmark Margrethe II and former queens consort Anne-Marie of Greece and Sofía of Spain, are
patrilineal members of cadet branches of the House of Glücksburg.[2][3][4]

Etymology

"House of Glücksburg" is the shortened form of "House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg"—a

collateral branch of the House of Oldenburg. The house derives its name from two regions and two towns on
the Jutland Peninsula.

The two regions of Schleswig and Holstein are divided by the Eider River. While Schleswig for centuries
constituted the southernmost region of Denmark, Holstein historically has been the northernmost area within
the Holy Roman Empire. The northern border of Holstein along the Eider had already formed the northern Parent house House of Oldenburg
border of Francia and the Carolingian Empire, after Emperor Charlemagne upon the Saxon Wars reached an
agreement with King Hemming of Denmark in 811. The lands of Schleswig beyond the river remained a fief of Country Duchy of Schleswig
the Danish Crown, while Holstein became an integral part of East Francia, the Kingdom of Germany and the (1863–1866)
Holy Roman Empire. The Eider has also been the border river between Saxons and Polabian Slavs to the south, Duchy of Holstein
and Danes and North Frisians to the north. This is evidenced in the largely Slavic-derived toponomy in (1863–1864)
Holstein, as opposed to the many Danish-derived place names in Schleswig including Southern Schleswig. Kingdom of

Since the 1920 Schleswig plebiscites, Schleswig has been divided between Denmark (Northern Schleswig), Denmark (1863–2024)

and Germany (Southern Schleswig). Kingdom of Greece

The "Ostsee" suffix means "Baltic Sea" (East Sea). (1918–1944)

Since Glücksburg Castle is the ancestral seat of the house, the house is mostly shortened to just "House of (1905–present)
Glücksburg". It is also spelled "House of Glücksborg" (the name of Glücksburg in the local Low German United Kingdom
dialect) or "House of Lyksborg" (the Danish name of Glücksburg). (2022–present)

Glücksburg is a small coastal town on the German southern side of the fjord of Flensburg that divides Germany (August Philipp as Beck)
[3]
from Denmark. In 1460, Glücksburg came, as part of the conjoined Dano-German duchies of Schleswig and
Holstein, to Count Christian of Oldenburg whom, in 1448, the Danes had elected their king as Christian I, the Current head Friedrich Ferdinand,

The Danish line of Oldenburg kings died out in 1863, and the elder line of the Schleswig-Holstein family King of the Wends

became extinct with the death of the last Augustenburg duke in 1931. Thereafter, the House of Glücksburg King of the Hellenes
became the senior surviving line of the House of Oldenburg. Another cadet line of Oldenburgs, the Dukes of
Holstein-Gottorp, consisted of two branches which held onto sovereignty into the 20th century. But members King of Iceland
