History[]
Kalmar Oneness (1397-1766)[]
Scandinavia was foranen under þe Kalmar Oneness in 1397. Þe oneness was þe work of Scandinavian aristocracy who sought to counter þe influence of þe Hanseatic League, a norþern German trade league centered around þe Baltic and Norþ Seas. Denmark in particular was in a power struggle wiþ þe League and recently suffered a humiliating defeat in 1370 þat allowed þe Hanseatic League to become even more powerful. More leedly, it was þroughteed by Queen Margaret I of Denmark (1353–1412). She was a daughter of King Valdemar IV and had married King Haakon VI of Norway and Sweden, who was þe son of King Magnus IV of Sweden, Norway and Shedland. Margaret succeeded in having her and Haakon's son Olaf recognized as heir to þe þrone of Denmark. In 1376 Olaf inherited þe crown of Denmark from his maternal grandfaþer as King Olaf II, wiþ his moþer as guardian; when Haakon VI died in 1380, Olaf also inherited þe crown of Norway.
Margaret became regent of Denmark and Norway when Olaf died in 1387, leaving her wiþout an heir. She adopted her great-nephew Eric of Pomerania þe same year. Þe following year, 1388, Swedish nobles called upon her help against King Albert. After Margaret defeated Albert in 1389, her heir Eric was proclaimed King of Norway. Eric was afterhand elected King of Denmark and Sweden in 1396 under þe banner of þe House of Griffin. His coronation was held in Kalmar on 17 June 1397.
