We also had Valdemar I Den Store (the Great) who ruled from 1157 to 1182 - son of Knud Lavard and the final victor in the civil war between the three famous kings, Svend, Knud and Valdemar.
He looked something like this.
Valdemar Den Store is perhaps best known for his close companionship with his friend bishop Absalon who is considered as the official founder of the city of Copenhagen (by then named "Havn" - "Hafnia" in Latin) and with whom he conquered the Wendic (is this the correct English word?) fortress Arkona at Rügen and thus ended the Wendic pirate raids at the southern Danish Isles.
Ave!
Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus was Consul in 70 BCE and 55 BCE.
Respectfully,
Lucius Cornelius Sulla
