Kroneserien: Christian IX and Queen Louise - engelsk udgave Jens Gunni Busck 1º edição

Christian IX and Queen Louise were the first couple of the Glücksburg
line on the Danish throne. They had a difficult beginning, as they
ascended the throne in 1863, immediately prior to the military defeat
by Prussia and Austria in 1864. However, they eventually became
popular with the Danish people, not least because they secured such
advantageous marriages for their six children that already in their own
day they were known as “Europe’s parents-in-law.” Today there are
not many European royals who are not descendants of Christian IX
and Queen Louise, who died in 1906 and 1898 respectively.

This book is part of the Crown Series, a series of small books on the
Danish monarchy and related subjects published in cooperation with
the Royal Danish Collection
