Gerhard VI, Count Of Holstein
Gerhard VI (c. 1367–1404) was the Count of Holstein-Rendsburg from 1382, and Duke of Schleswig as of 1386. Gerhard VI was born around 1367, the son of Count Henry II from the Rendsburg line of the House of Schauenburg and Ingeborg of Mecklenburg. After the death, in 1381 or 1384, of his father, who had ruled jointly with Gerhard's uncle Nicholas (Claus), Gerhard and his younger brother Albert II entered into the joint government for their late father. On 15 September 1386 King Olav III of Denmark enfeoffed him with the Duchy of Schleswig, after his uncle Nicholas had resigned from that function. In 1390 Gerhard and his brother and uncle inherited Holstein-Kiel, including the merged Plön, whose line had been extinct in 1350. After their uncle Nicholas had died in 1397 the brothers divided their possessions, the elder keeping Schleswig and Holstein-Rendsburg, and Albert II receiving Holstein-Segeberg as secundogeniture.

Adolphus XI of Schauenburg ( nds, Alef or Alv, german: Adolf von Schauenburg, da, Adolf 8. af Holsten-Rendsborg) (1401 – 4 December 1459), as Adolph I Duke of Schleswig ( da, Sønderjylland, formerly ), and as Adolph VIII Count of Holstein-Rendsburg, was the mightiest vassal of the Danish realm.

Christian I Of Denmark
Christian I (February 1426 – 21 May 1481) was a Scandinavian monarch under the Kalmar Union. He was king of Denmark (1448–1481), Norway (1450–1481) and Sweden (1457–1464). From 1460 to 1481, he was also duke of Schleswig (within Denmark) and count (after 1474, duke) of Holstein (within the Holy Roman Empire). He was the first king of the House of Oldenburg. In the power vacuum that arose following the death of King Christopher of Bavaria (1416–1448) without a direct heir, Sweden elected Charles VIII of Sweden (14081470) king with the intent to reestablish the union under a Swedish king. Charles was elected king of Norway in the following year. However the counts of Holstein made the Danish Privy Council appoint Christian as king of Denmark. His subsequent accessions to the thrones of Norway (in 1450) and Sweden (in 1457), restored the unity of the Kalmar Union for a short period. In 1463, Sweden broke away from the union and Christian's attempt at a reconquest res ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ingeborg Of Holstein
Ingeborg of Holstein (1396 – 14 October 1465), was Abbess of Vadstena Abbey 1447-1452 and 1457-1465. She was the daughter of Gerhard VI, Count of Holstein-Rendsburg (d. 1404) and Catherine Elisabeth of Brunswick-Lüneburg. In 1408, she was placed in the convent by Queen Margaret I of Denmark by special consent of the Pope. She became a full member of the order in 1415. Due to her age, it is believed that she initially resided in her own house on the convent premises. In 1447, she was appointed Abbess. Her election was controversial and an active opposition remained against her appointment. She had the loyal support of the confessor of the abbey, Magnus Unnonis. Ingeborg was the maternal aunt of King Christian I of Denmark, which was likely the cause to why King Charles VIII of Sweden 25 April 1452 demanded that she and the confessor of the abbey, Magnus Unnonis, should be deposed. Bishop Nils König of Linköping saw no cause for this, but both Ingeborg and Unnonis stepped down ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
