List of Danish royal consorts

Danish consorts

Summary

Danish consorts

This list of Danish consorts includes each queen consort (wife of a reigning king) and each prince consort (husband of a reigning queen). Due to unions (personal and real), the queens of 1380–1814 (effectively from 1406) were also queens of Norway, and the queens of 1389–1521/23 (effectively from 1406) were also (though with interruptions) queens of Sweden. The Australian-born Mary, wife of King Frederik X, became queen consort on 14 January 2024, following the abdication of Margrethe II.

[[File:Jellingsten lille 1.jpgcenterframeless136x136px]]Thyra DanebodThyra may have been the daughter of one of the regional Danish chiefs, probably from southern Jutland and some sagas claims that Thyra was a daughter of a duke named Klak-Harald. According to the Gesta Danorum Thyra was the daughter of Aethelred, King of England. Presumably Ethelred of Wessex is intended: if Ethelred the Unready, then this is anachronistic.9??

Skagul TosteDen Store Danske Encyklopædi identifies the consort of Sweyn I as Gunhild, and considers the Sigrid the Haughty of the sagas to be based on her, but predominantly a work of "complete fiction". Source: Den Store Danske Encyklopædi, CD-ROM edition, entries Gunhild and Sigrid Storråde.
