200 Years of Glücksburg: The Dynasty that Dominated Europe

In 1825, the name Glücksburg was added to a lengthy title, marking the beginning of a dynasty that would dominate Europe. The House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, a branch of the House of Oldenburg, established itself in Denmark and other northern kingdoms from the 15th century.

Over the past 200 years, the Glücksburgs have emerged as a dominant force, spawning royal families for many European states.
