Christian VI ruled Denmark-Norway from 1730 until his death in 1746. As King he was enthusiastic about construction projects; he built the first Christiansborg Palace, Hirschholm Palace, and the Hermitage Palace. As an adherent of the Pietist religious movement, he believed it was sinful to enjoy oneself, and life at his court was reminiscent of life in a monastery. He took a number of measures to combat a long-lasting economic slump, one of which was the introduction of the hated system of adscription known as the stavnsbånd. As the first Danish absolute monarch to do so, he managed to avoid war throughout his entire reign.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.

Copenhagen Business School is one of the world's largest and most renowned schools. By incorporating subjects as philosophy, history, political science and languages, the school has become a role model for other business schools around the world that seek to accommodate the increasing demand for social relevance and responsibility.Things have not always been this way. Since its humble beginnings in 1917, the school has had to fight for recognition. For decades, the academic community viewed it as a trade school in the pocket of the business community, while the business community felt that it offered programs that were too theoretical and unworldly. This led to dramatic confrontations over the hiring of professors and the professors' scholary freedom and a constant struggle for adequate financing.The story of CBS is also a story of the changes in Danish business life and in Danish society that continually altered the demands for competencies in business and in the public sector. CBS constant resolve to live up to these demands has not always been a quiet process, as the management and staff have sometimes disagreed on the path to be followed-but not the ultimate goals.This book highlights CBS's development from a small and unassuming business school to the international institution of today

Forinden måtte de vente fire årtier som kronprinspar, hvilket gav dem nogle særlige udfordringer – ikke mindst i forhold til den øvrige kongefamilie, som de havde et anstrengt forhold til. Frederik og Lovisa var på flere måder moderne mønsterbrydere, og det blev ikke altid taget dem lige venligt op af hverken familien eller offentligheden. Som konge ønskede Frederik 8. at bringe sig i øjenhøjde med befolkningen, men han blev for folkelig for mange i sin samtid.Bogen indgår i Kroneserien, en serie af mindre bøger om det danske kongehus og relaterede emner udgivet i samarbejde med Kongernes Samling.

Frederik VIII reigned for only six years, from 1906 until 1912. He and Lovisa spent four decades as Crown Prince and Crown Princess, and this presented them with some special challenges, not least as regards their relationship with the rest of the royal family, which was strained. In several ways Frederik and Lovisa were individuals whose behaviour was at odds with previously existing patterns, and neither the Danish royal family nor the public always viewed this in a positive light. In his efforts to meet the populace on its own terms, Frederik VIII became too folksy in the eyes of many contemporary Danes.The 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.

Frederik VII ruled Denmark from 1848 until 1863. In 1849 he introduced Denmark's first constitution. Despite his great weaknesses as a ruler, he is one of the most remarkable figures among the Danish monarchs. He was an odd individual with a rather unstable temperament, and in many ways he was a Black sheep within the royal Family. In particular, Frederik VII provoked people with his marriage to Countess Danner, but at the same time he added a completely new popular dimension to the monarchy. Frederik VII had a sense of the mood of the people that enabled him to become something as paradoxical as a royal icon of democracy in Denmark.The book is part of the Crown Series, a series of small books on the Danish monarchy and related subjects published in cooperation wih the Royal Danish Collection.

Frederik IV reigned from 1699 until 1730. None of the other absolute monarchs in Danish history ruled in as headstrong a fashion as he did. Frederik IV took it upon himself to make as many of the realm’s decisions as possible himself, and this worked remarkably well. With the help of Tordenskjold, he brought Denmark-Norway safely through the bloody Great Northern War, which would be Denmark’s final showdown with its archenemy Sweden. In his love life, too, he was extremely headstrong; he abducted his beloved Anna Sophie Reventlow, with whom he entered into a morganatic marriage and whom he later made his Queen.The 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.

Christian V reigned from 1670 until 1699. He was the first to accede to the throne as a hereditary king following the introduction of the hereditary and absolute monarchy by Frederik III. During the reign of Christian V, state power became centralized and the absolute monarchy was consolidated, and he made a competent but ultimately unsuccessful attempt to reconquer Scania, Halland and Blekinge, territories that had been lost during his father's reign. Though there is an equestrian statue of him at the centre of Kongens Nytorv, the square the king had built, there are probably not many Danes who are familiar with the details of Christian V's life.The 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.

Denne bog beskriver den store nordvestsjællandske gård Torpelunds musikkultur mellem 1880 og 1960. Christian Olsen (1881-1968), der blev født på gården og boede der det meste af sit liv, virkede i første halvdel af 1900-tallet som musiklærer, musikudgiver, folkemindesamler og lokalhistorisk skribent. Han efterlod sig en nodesamling og et stort privatarkiv, som danner grundlag for denne bogs historiske udforskning af musikdyrkelsen på gården. Musikken som kultur bliver i bogen betragtet ud fra et musiketnologisk perspektiv, der har til formål at beskrive og karakterisere den særlige musikkultur på Torpelund, og derudover vise hvilken betydning musiklivet på gården havde for Olsen-familiens sociale og kulturelle identitet. Musikkulturen på Torpelund sammenlignes desuden med musikkulturen i England, den offentlige symfonikoncert i Vesten samt musikmiljøet på godset Fuglsang. Bogen er skrevet af Jens Henrik Koudal, seniorforsker, dr.phil., ved Dansk Folkemindesamling ved Nationalbiblioteket.

Christian X and Queen Alexandrine were Denmark’s royal couple from1912 to 1947. They reigned during a period in which the world wasdramatically changed; two world wars and serious economic crisesleft their mark on their reign and contributed to the royal couple’s greatsignificance as a centre around which the nation could gather.During the same period, the role of the monarchy was fundamentally changed;the Danish monarchy found its place in a modern parliamentarydemocracy, and following the advent of modern mass mediathe royal couple became a public presence.This book is part of the Crown Series, a series of small books on theDanish monarchy and related subjects published in cooperation withthe Royal Danish Collection.

Christian IX and Queen Louise were the first couple of the Glücksburgline on the Danish throne. They had a difficult beginning, as theyascended the throne in 1863, immediately prior to the military defeatby Prussia and Austria in 1864. However, they eventually becamepopular with the Danish people, not least because they secured suchadvantageous marriages for their six children that already in their ownday they were known as “Europe’s parents-in-law.” Today there arenot many European royals who are not descendants of Christian IXand Queen Louise, who died in 1906 and 1898 respectively.This book is part of the Crown Series, a series of small books on theDanish monarchy and related subjects published in cooperation withthe Royal Danish Collection

Here one can also see a number of the monarchy’s other central objects: the baptismal font that has been used by the royal family since the 17th century, the silver lions as well as the collection of crown jewels founded by Queen Sophie Magdalene in the mid-18thcentury, which is still used by the Queen on major occasions.The 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.

This book tells the story of Christian IV, who became King of Denmark and Norway when he was only 11 years old. He ruled for all of 60 years, and he was responsible for the construction of a number of Denmark’s most beloved buildings, particularly in Copenhagen. When he died, he left behind a kingdom that had been impoverished by war and excessive taxation and had permanently lost its earlier status as a major European power. Nevertheless, he was considered a brave hero and martyr by generations that followed him, and he has gone down in history as the greatest king Denmark has ever had.The 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.

Frederik IX and Queen Ingrid were the Danish royal couple from 1947 until 1972, when King Frederik died and was succeeded by his eldest daughter, Queen Margrethe II. In contrast to his predecessors, Frederik IX was seen as a man of the people, and thanks to the influence of Queen Ingrid he endowed his reign with kingly dignity. Together they modernized the Danish monarchy and came to symbolize an exemplary modern Danish nuclear family. They mastered the art of being both popular and royal in a time in which handling of the media became increasingly important for the monarchy.The 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.
