Christian II of Denmark was a king who ruled from 1513 to 1523. He was known for his ambitious attempts to strengthen the Danish monarchy and expand its territories. His reign was marked by conflicts with the nobility and the Hanseatic League, a powerful trading alliance in Northern Europe. In 1523, Christian II was deposed and went into exile due to a rebellion led by the Danish nobility. He spent many years in Sweden and the Netherlands, where he continued to seek support to reclaim his throne. His reign is often remembered for its political turmoil and the challenges he faced in unifying his kingdom.
