Denmark - the first thousand years

What to know

Denmark's first thousand years are the period from the year 400 to 1400. How did Denmark come into being? Anders Lundt Hansen will give an answer on a Monday evening and a Tuesday morning. For centuries, historians have been searching for the answer. A solution is approaching Once the Danish kings had gained power, they did not relinquish it. They erected runestones to show their power, and sent hundreds of sail-bearing longships across the waves. History took the form of a struggle between kings who wanted to centralize power and nobles who wanted to preserve their freedom. It all culminated in a battle exactly 1,000 years ago, the Battle of Helgeå in 1026. - Date: 29 September 2026 - Time: 09:15–12:00 - Venue: Aktivitetshuset Ebeltoft - Address: Nørrealle 4, Ebeltoft, Denmark - Admission: From DKK 185
