King Christian IX of Denmark is known as the fathe rin law of Europe. His 6 children inherited, married into or were appointed to monarchies all over the continent. Between them they gave Christian and his Queen Louise 39 grandchildren and many more decedents who would occupied 9 different European thrones - Denmark of course, but also Norway, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Greece, Spain, Russia, Romania, and Luxembourg. They spanned 128 years of history Prince Albert Victor being born in 1864 and Princess Margaret of Bourbon-Parma living to see 1992. Among them, they defied the Nazis, served in the French Foreign Legion, won and lost various thrones and foil assassination attempts.
Here are the stories of the children of Christian IX’s three Sons.
King Frederick VIII of Denmark
Vilhelm, King George I of Greece
Prince Valdemar

Another fun fact: During WW2, Hitler wrote a long personal letter to the king of Denmark to congratulate him on his birthday. King Christan the 10th simply responded with "Many thanks" (so basically, today's equivalent to "k") and Hitler got so furious, he was about to go beserk on Denmark. Luckily he got talked out of it in the end... The king was such a badass lol
I guess you could say he was...
führerious
@@safakaduji343 good one lol XD

24:35 They ‘could not be left alone in a furnished room’. 🤣 Well, that’s an interesting phrase.
Im pretty sure ive used this phrase before discribing one of my friends and her boyfriend
I'm Greek and at school we are not taught that we had a royal family. I found out about it when I was 16 years old. Thank you so much for making these videos
I'm a senior in high school and in history we talk about the Greek royal family although a huge part of the history book is about venizelos
@@giannisfragos722 You're lucky and I'm glad to hear this! When I went to school in the 2000s (I'm assuming you're younger than me) we barely touched the topic of Greek royalty. I believe it had to do with the government of the time and how they ran the educational system and political propaganda they wanted to pass through our young impressionable heads.
This is so good because of you my teacher said eventhough I'm not in my last year I could probably take a GCSE and pass
Good Luck!!
That's amazing! All the best
Well done and good luck
Great job and well wishes!!
It's so interesting that learning about one family can really give a history lesson about the world wars! Queen Alexandrine of Denmark's mother Grand Duchess Anastasia Mikhailovna would be a fun video topic. As a young widow she gambled, partied, and had an illegitimate child she actually raised. During WWI her sympathies were with the allies even though her other daughter was the Kaiser's daughter-in-law and her son was Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Shwerin. 3 of her brother's were killed by the Bolsheviks.
Just imagine-
“Mommy when did you and daddy meet?”
“Well honey we met on our wedding day”
“What 👁👄👁”
That's fairly common in a lot of cultures where parents choose their children's partners.
OR "We've known each other all our lives since my father and his mother are brother and sister."
My godmother met her husband on their wedding day too.
I always thought it was awkward...and it was!
One thing that you missed mentioning was that Marina the daughter of Prince Nicholas of Greece and Denmark married George the VI's brother Prince George, Duke of Kent.
Both my husband and I love your videos!!! You make the "difficult" royal lines (that often cross back over again & maybe again) the easiest too understand than anyone else on RUclips. Thank you for what you put out. I'm a great fan.
These people have so many kids, I am convinced they make up half of the planet
This is so funny for me because I have a huge family. I'm the 7th of 13 kids, my mom and my father are both the 8th of 10 kids and literally in my class I have 8 of my cousins
@@LotosAnalysisCorner
That must be a fun family reunion
That was normal back then, for everyone.
But yeah, my dad has ten kids.
Well it was seen as there duty for royal women to have as many children as possible and were pressured to have loads of children
People in general did have many kids in those days due to no telly and no birth control ......
World shortest book. The Danish royal book of baby names.
Kjelly Lund 😂😂😂 Sorry to tell you, but they all have at least four names and no last name... But yes, the first born male heir is always named either Christian or Frederik. Our current crown prince is named Frederik André Henrik Christian. His oldest son is named Christian Valdemar Henri John. And our queen is named Margrethe Alexandrine Thórhildur Ingrid.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
French kings' names too 😂.
@@selensoycan8378 And there’s an awfully lot of Edwards, Georges and Henrys in the British one.
Yes 😂.
I remember reading a childrens book about the new royal family of Norway and how they were Danish and had to learn how to be Norwegian. It was adorable and I loved it. The prince had to learn how to ski jump
This series is wonderful and very educational, but did she say clap back when describing Germany attacking Denmark? 😂 that was hilarious.
Sinai Nigoche Why?
That caught me too. lol
Lol it was meant to be funny
So how many of King Christian IXs descendants married Queen Victoria”s descendants? I think I’ve noticed a pattern.
Probably a least 10
Mary Pokins talk about inbreeding. That’s crazy. Then you have Prince Phillip and Queen Elizabeth 2nd who are both descendants of both Queen Victoria and King Christian IX.
Well they probably made up at least half of the available royals, so...
Such a conicidence how he tried to court Victoria when they were younger and single, imagine! How things wouod have changed if she chose him
There are currently four countries, where the monarch is a descendant of both Christian IX and Victoria: Denmark, Norway, Spain and the UK. Greece would be a fourth example if they returned to being a monachy.
I think it would be amazing if you did a solo video on Princess Alice/Prince Philip’s mother. If there’s one woman in history I had to pick who’s had a rough life it would be her.
I find it interesting that you never once mentioned the fact that King Konstantin II is married to Queen Margrethe II’s youngest sister Anne-Marie
Thank you for these videos! I am a history nerd even though I’m a nurse! I love the education provided.
I strive to be Thyra when I grow older. Let my house be the sanctuary for all my relatives who have mental breakdowns due to the pressure of the toxic people around them.
King Christan X didn't only become a symbol for the danes because he stayed, but also because he refused to not greet any german soldiers when he went on his riding trip. also because he didn't hide away at his palace, he took his horse out riding every day, without guards. he kind of silently resisted the nazis, not put the danish nation in danger. he did alot for his country.
Please do in-depth videos on the Greek, Italian, Belgian, and Luxembourgish royals!
These videos always make my day. Thank you for making excellent content, Lindsay!
I really like this series. Any time you have further reading on the royals I would love for you to post the books etc
Can you please talk more about the Yugoslavian royal family? I would love to learn more
I would also like to see that, but I already know most from history classes 😅
What a great work you've done. I´m learning so much about the Danish Kings, Queens and their kids. I´ve never learned so much in so little time before. Thanks a lot
Thankyou for giving me a reason to attempt university again! :)
i am not greek but i request to only be referred to as “Greek Nikki” from now on
Nikki Rebecca Half Greek here, I believe there are ways to become “Greek” such as marriage to a Greek or joining their church
Nikki Rebecca But I guess you can still have the nickname
Id have a mix of European ancestry in my family
Alright Greek Nikki
Wonderful as always! Your videos helped me not only to pass most of my history classes but also helped me find my love for the history of royalty, keep doing what your doing!
Yay! Thanks again Lindsay I’m loving this series x
2 VIDEOS THIS WEEK TOO!!!!!
Thank you!
5:39 Apparently this is a very famous photo in Norway. They built two statues/monuments where the King and Prince stood around that tree.
The original birch is gone, but they have planted a new one at the same spot. This is the place today: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/34/Kongebjørka_2018.jpg
Could u please do a video on the theory of the illegitimate child of proncess louise duchess of argyll
These videos make my day!
The grown of Finland never went anywhere, because Finland didn´t want the royal family to have an word of Finland´s politics. Even thought both of them where offered and one was chosen to be the King, he never became the king of Finland. So I get why you say "sort lived grown", instead saying the grown was offered to him, but instead they did choose the german prince who actually never became the king of Finland.
As Finnish myself that just hit my ear.
Repeated typo? Did you mean crown not grown?
14:37 Since 2015, Constantine and Anne-Marie have returned to Greece to live as commoners.
The name Valdemar is pretty cool. It's funny that most of his kids married Americans or Canadians, heh.
Have you read anything by Mercedes Lackey?
@@JenInOz Nope. I'm aware of her Valdemar stories, though.
At first I thought they said Voldemort, LOL.
Valdemar is an old Danish King name. According to Danish legend, it was Valdemar the II "Victory" who saw the Danish flag Dannebrog drop from the sky in Estonia, in the year 1219. Prince Christian, the current Crown Prince of Denmark's oldest son and future king, one of his middlenames is Valdemar.
We had titles and the United States had the money.
Your voice is so soothing they should hire you to do biographies on bbc
Mary Jane or audiobooks
Her voice isn’t soothing it’s childish and annoying
@@Patrick3183 If you find it annoying, why are you watching her videos?
Patrick3183 why are you watching then?
@@Patrick3183 That is your opinion.
Thank you Lindsay 🌷
I just wanted to thank you for all the history lessons of European thrones it's very well done.
These videos are so nice.. Your voice is the best part of it all 😍😍😍
Your voice soothes me, I love watching these videos because they’re interesting but they also help me sleep. Lots of love ❤️😀
Haakon the 7th sounds like an amazing king!
Fun fact: Prince Nicholas's daughter, Princess Marina duchess of Kent, was the last foreign Princess to marry a British prince.
One thing: Christian X didn't join the Navy, but instead the Army.
Very true. And he was very disappointed that his son, Frederik, didn't join the Army as well. But he was a naval man through and through.
Princess Alice of Battenberg was a beautiful young woman!!
The picture at 17:14 was actually Grand Duke Paul's brother Grand Duke Sergei who married Elisabeth of Hesse and by Rhine.
Yes the Picture is og Grand Duke Sergei
i love your monarchy videos!
Thank you for showing twice week. I love your Halloween videos too.
Another really interesting video! As always, illustrations are great. And you’ve finally made me interested in Scandinavian royalty. I’ve always been interested in British, but now I’ve expanded my horizen, thanks to you! Now I guess I’m going to go get the expanded poster from UsefulCharts😉. And congratulations on the growth of your channel!
Yes queen thank you for this!!!
I honestly look every night for your videos, their so interesting and love to watch them in bed :) keep up the awesome work
I remember admiring King Christian X of Denmark when I read Number the Stars in 5th grade. It’s such a good book.
My town is named Schleswig I have heard so many pronunciations. It's good to finally understand how it's supposed to sound, our neighboring towns all have german names in the middle of Iowa.
Hi there, sorry to tell you, but her pronounciations is quite wrong 😜 It does work in terms of pronouncing the letters in the english way, but it is not how the german word is originaly suppossed to sound. Believe me, I'm from Schleswig-Holstein, with the town of Schleswig being not far away.
The german pronounciation (if that's what you where looking for) is Schleswig with the "sch" like the "sh" in words like "shame" (instead of the "s" as in "slumber" like this RUclipsr is saying it). The rest of the word is fine though.
I hope this helps a bit 😉 Best regards from Schleswig-Holstein to Iowa!
@@BlayreAilean Thank you for explaining this! Ever since I saw the word I've heard so many diffrent ways to pronounce it. it's funny there's only a small town dividing Schleswig from another town Holstein. Anyway thank you very much.
And if you want the Danish pronunciation, it's more like Sleisvii spelled Slesvig. And Holstein is Holsten. I myself live in Sønderborg, which is one of the cities/duchies in e.g. Prince Phillip's original title, very close to the German border, this part of Denmark goes by the name Southern Jutland or North Slesvig. 😊
@@Sonderborg75 Thank you auto correct doesn't like some words.😐 I love learning about other countries since in the U.S. world history only covers WWI and WWII. It's nice to talk to someone across the globe what a better to learn than from someone who lives there. Hope you have a great day. 😊
Flower H If you want to spell it the German and English way, it's correct. I'm just using the the Danish spelling of Slesvig and Holsten. 😊 And yes, it's great to learn from each other. 😊 I hope you have a nice day too.
So perfect !!!!!! S2 S2 S2 S2 S2 S2 Your job is just awesome!!!! Congratulations! S2 S2 S2 S2 S2 have you ever considered making a video of the descendants of Emperor Nicholas I and Empress Alexandra Feodorovna (Charlotte of Prussia) from Russia?
I'm completely lost because HAD SO MANY ALEXANDRA'S, ok they like to honor older ones, but for god's sake, that's too much.
9pm. My granddaughter is Alexis
Thank you these videos :)
I love your videos Lindsay 😊
Margarite was so much fun from what I have read. Naughty like a child until the end of her life. She would have been lovely to know personally.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you!
Can you do Mary queen of scots
Is no one gonna comment on how fine Phillip was when he was young?!
Ooh yes, a Greek God.
Wow!!!!! Really interesting. It's surprising to know that valdemar's three sons actually married outside royalty and aristocracy.
Thanks for sharing
Sorry as a Belgian I have to react .. It's King Boudewijn en our current King is King Filip. (you misspelled them)
No she didn't, internationally our kings are known by the french version of their name.
He is know as Filip and Philippe. The second name is just his French name. Not the name he is know by internationally.
@@Zenfurya Ik ga er niet blijven over discussiëren maar Philippe is wel degelijk de naam die internationaal wordt gebruikt (behalve misschien door Nederlanders). Zie 'België' op Wikipedia: The King (currently Philippe) is the head of state. zijn Vlaamse naam wordt niet gebruikt. :)
I love all of Lindsay’s videos. I am a fan of historical aristocracy. It’s SO interesting, and full of Drama,lol.
Ps- I also found the Girl in the Tiara. Love these!💕
Two in a week? Yes!!!
I gotta say, you watch enough of these videos and immerse yourself, you start creating a bubble where it’s ONLY European royal families in the world and no one else 🤣
Your videos are awesome. Will you continue Queens of the World Series Lindsay? I'd like to listen different queens around the World from you.
Great videos
Louise of Sweden looks like one of those premade Sims in the neighborhood that you really don't want anyone to marry because they are really weird looking and going to make weird looking sims-children.
I've very much enjoyed these Danish videos. Cheers.
25:14 photo of Axel could be easily mistaken for Count Felix von Luckner.
Felix von Luckner?
Yes. Of the "Sea Adler" windjammer commerce raider during WWI
Please do the Dutch and Portuguese royal families !!!
Holy Schnikies Louise looks hard-core buff as f**k. Wait, she was "strict" you say? 😳 She's got the face of a Disney Villian
Sad that you did not mention Alexandra’s eldest child and daughter Maria. Yes, Dmitry is known for bing of the conspirators to kill Rasputin. However, Maria had a very interesting life too. Born into wealth, she was first married to a Swedish and Norwegian prince, but that was unhappy. She was a nurse during WWI, after the revolution she managed to get out of Russia. In the 1920´s she opened a famous atelier Kitmir and worked with Coco Chanel.
i love these videos, you are amazing lindsay!
Nice A family photo
Will u do the Russian royal family one day?
My Family History(noone cares but I like to write it here on this channel because its history)one of my ancestors was a lady in waiting for Louise of Hesse-Kassel,the wife of Christian IX!Their are still records that my mother has,apparently she wrote a letter to the Prince that she wasn't enjoying it and if she could leave,he invited her to stay in the Palace and sparked a small romance before leaving to go back to the Palace,she hated it even more and after 10 years she ran away to Eastern Denmark,she was Louise's favourite lady in waiting and loved her so she sent exactly 35 guards to find her,they did and she was brought back to the Palace,after a year Louise started disliking her so my ancestor legit moved to Norway,where was found again and imprisoned,she only had 1 child and died age 46 in 1863. Her son was 25 and moved to Germany,where he got married to a noble,however my family didn't have records of her,he wanted to never have kids which was unlikely back then,but when he was 52,his wife was 46,his wife unexpectedly got pregnant and she died in childbirth in 1889,her husband died in 1910. That baby that was born in 1889 is the mother to my great grandmother,he wanted to marry a poor farm girl,but his father didn't approve so he ran away in 1905 with the girl who was 3 years older,they went to Monaco and stayed their until moving to Asia in 1914,they came back to Monaco in 1937 and left again in 1939 because of the war,they were scared people would come to tgwir country so as soon as it was declared they left,came back to Monaco in 1947 and stayed their,they moved to England in 1960 and came back to Monaco in 1970,1 years later his wife died and he died another 4 years later in 1975 age 86,crazy enough his daughter,my great grandma died in 2014 when I was 21!She always told me that despite life being hard in the 1910's she loved it and said she'd always go back!
luv that you said clapped back
Excelente producción.
It looks to me that Prince Charles' ears came from his Danish/"Greek" relations. If these photos are anything to go by 😂
I love my queen Margrethe. It's fun to learn all this history of the royal family of my country
I love this biography
Thanks
15:24
Is anyone going to talk about how Valdemar groomed his 14 year old nephew? Disgusting!
- and I actually liked Valdemar before I read about the nature of their relationship, now I'm just appalled
I've not heard of half your children being one religion and half being another. That seems like it would be a terrible conflict constantly in the house. I can hear the siblings fights now "no you're going to hell no you are!"
Lol just a normal morning in that household 😂
The children of Fredrick VIII seems to be the most “well behaved” and humblest of the European Royals. At least from what I heard in these kinds of history videos so far.
Yay
Thanks Have a good weekend.
I think there are some inaccuracies on Hakon during WWII. He did not refuse to abdicate but actually offered to abdicate if his cabinet gave into the demands of the Germans of appointing a German collaborator, Quisling as head of a new puppet government that would in turn legitimize the invasion. He also did not flee towards Sweden because he was threatened with incarceration if he crossed the border since the Swedes wanted to protect their neutrality. He was eventually evacuated by the British at Tromso.
So what happened to Thyra’s daughter???
She was adopted to a Danish family and nothing else is really known about her.
@@MarNorMi unfortunately she was the daughter of a King and at the time High born royals weren’t allowed to marry commoners. Wasn’t until decades later when it was more acceptable. So not that simple and Denmark wasn’t the only country where that would happen in.
@@christinaj.jensen4805 I removed my previous comment because, although some comments seem to confuse the two Thyras, aunt and niece, the video doesn't.
- As regards royals being allowed to marry commoners or low aristocratics, there has never been a hard and fast rule (look at some earlier centuries of royal houses of different countries too), but considerable pressure was put on, of course. A lot depended on whether those wanting to marry just gave up status and fortune, apparently, in cases where the intended spouse could/would not at all be accepted. And if they were determined and didn't give a damn, they could put it through. Look at Julia Hauke, who was successfully 'incorporated' into high aristocracy of Hessen. Mind you, she was aristocratic, but not high enough on the scale. - Much had to do with politics. In Denmark-Norway, the succession was supposed to be strightly agnatic (through men only), but when they were in need, they turned to the women. And not all those Danish kings were actually the biological children of their mothers' kingly spouses. But they had intelligent and resourceful fathers - high-class servants, in fact - and it worked out quite well!
@@MarNorMi yes, I know. Only ONE other woman, before our current Queen, was as close to being a female monarch, without actually being the monarch. And that was Margrethe the I. The only surviving child of King Valdemar Atterdag of Denmark. She was married off to the King of Norway at the age of 10, but when her father died leaving no heirs, she suggested naming her son Olav as King of Denmark and Norway, with her as regent, because Olav was still underage. Uniting the two kingdoms in a union that would last until 1814. But never was she named Queen nor recognized as the monarch, even after Olav died, because the nobility refused to recognize her as Queen. Despite the fact that she was the brains behind the Kalmar Union. They only let her continue as a regent, if she could produce an heir. She luckily found a Way without marrying again, by adopting her sister’s son, who later became King Erik of Pommern. The reason why we Call her “Margrethe the I” today, even though she wasn’t the monarch, is because of our current Queen Margrethe. As the first recognized female monarch of Denmark, she per tradition would have been expected to take the regnal name Margrethe the I, but in order to honoring her namesake’s legacy, she took the name Margrethe the II. Very honorable to do.
The few times Kings have married “to left hand” as it was called when they married a commoner, they weren’t named Queen. And the last King who married a commoner, King Frederik the VII, was also by the time of his third marriage, where everyone had accepted he would never have children and they eventually named Christian the IX his successor, whose claim to the throne was only as strong as it was, because his wife, who had a higher claim than him, signed it over to Christian.
Another thing is, daughters May not have been in consideration to the throne at that time. But they were practically seen as tools to form political alliances. Thyra was no different, and seeing as it would be seen as a huge scandal for the Danish royal family at the time, if it was revealed she had a child out of wedlock, at the same time when the father was a commoner. At that time, it was not going to be accepted. It might have been today in 2020, but not in the 1870s.
Le faltó mencionar: Alejandra de Dinamarca (Reina consorte del Reino Unido) esposa del Rey Eduardo VII
Dagmar de Dinamarca (emperatriz consorte de Rusia) esposa del Zar Alejandro III
Ellas también eran hijas del Rey Cristian IX de Dinamarca.
Este video es de los hijos de Cristiano no las hijas. Quero que va ser otra video de ellas (Alejandra, Dagmar, y Thyra) y de sus hijos y hijas
Amazing video

Can you make a video on Queen Ingrid?
Excuse me Ma'am, but your videos are addicting.
I can immediately tell that Christopher is not happy with his parents decision. Look at the boy, he looks done.
Excellent series of videos. I'm impressed with the accuracy of pronouncing Dagmar in Danish, well done! However, the correct and not at all logical way to pronounce "Aage" is something like the English word "owe" with the "e" somewhat pronounced at the end, maybe more like "oweh".
I might have watched this later but it,s so interesting
What about prince Philip the king consort to Queen Elizabeth ? He was the greek house
She mentioned him in the video, the Duke of Edinburgh and prince consort : 21:26.
