The union between Denmark and Norway was a quite happy one, but had only been in excistence for some 40 years.
Quote:
As far as i know Norway never really wanted to be independent (except a few years, that could be simulated by increased revolt risk in some provs, and a few revolts), and though they had their own duke or count e.g. monarch, some years, they were ruled by us (the danes). What troubles are you excactly talking about? My knowledge about Denmark aren't perfect.
End Quote:
Magrete of Denmark was elected as regent of Norway and her heirs (counting from her sisterdaughters son) should rule Norway as a hereditary kingdom. Her sisterdaughter son was Erik of Pommerania (the king you start out with as Denmark) and he was overthrown and Christoffer of Bavaria was choosen as king in Denmark (1440), Sweden (1441), and last Norway (1442). The norwegians hesitated because they saw Erik as their rightfull king. This is why I don't think that Norway and Denmark should be one kingdom from the beginning, but rather form as it does now.
After this the union between Denmark and Norway was as stable as it could have been, and the distinction between norwegian and danish faded (atleast what the nobility and burgher is concerned).
