Kurš datēja Kristiāns IV?

Kristiāns IV (dāņu: Christian 4.; dzimis 1577. gada 12. aprīlī, miris 1648. gada 28. februārī) bija Dānijas un Norvēģijas karalis no 1588. līdz 1648. gadam.

Valdīja 59 gadus un ir visilgāk valdījušais monarhs Skandināvijas vēsturē. Kristiāna IV valdīšanas laikā Dānija piedzīvoja savas ietekmes zenītu, kaut arī pamazām to aizēnoja Zviedrijas ietekmes palielināšanās. Dānijas vēsturē Kristiāns IV palicis kā viens no aktīvākajiem, populārākajiem un ietekmīgākajiem karaļiem. Kristiāns IV tomēr personīgi ticēja raganām un atbalstīja raganu prāvas valstī. Neveiksmīgi iesaistījās Trīsdesmitgadu karā protestantu pusē. Dibinājis vairākas pilsētas, to skaitā mūsdienu Oslo, kas līdz 1925. gadam tika saukta karaļa vārdā par Kristiāniju.

Kirsten Madsdatter (died 1629) was King Christian IV of Denmark's lover, and the mother of one of his three acknowledged, illegitimate sons, Christian Ulrik Gyldenløve.

Kirsten Madsdatter was likely the daughter of Copenhagen's mayor Matthias Hansen, though this is unconfirmed. She was originally a chambermaid to Queen Anna Catherine. The relationship started before the death of the queen; their son was born in 1611. In 1612, the queen died. In 1612, Kirsten was married to Reinholt Hansen , who eventually took over as Mayor of Copenhagen after the death of Matthias Hansen. Meanwhile, the king found Karen Andersdatter who became his new mistress in 1613. Kirsten died in 1629.

Karen Andersdatter (died 1673 in Copenhagen, Denmark) was the Danish mistress of King Christian IV of Denmark-Norway and the mother of one of his three illegitimate but acknowledged children, Hans Ulrik Gyldenløve.

Vibeke Kruse (died 1648) was the official mistress of King Christian IV of Denmark between 1629 and 1648. They had two children: Ulrik Christian Gyldenløve(1630–1658) and Elisabeth Sophie Gyldenløve (1633–1654). Christian openly acknowledged Kruse as his mistress and gave both of their children the surname Gyldenløve (lit. 'Golden Lion'), a naming practice used by Danish kings to acknowledge their illegitimate children.

She had particular influence over the king and as a result was the target of great criticism. Her two children were routinely pitted against the children of his second wife, Kirsten Munk.
