Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg

Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg (German) or Slesvig-Holsten-Sĝnderborg-Lyksborg (or Glücksborg) (Danish), from Glücksburg in northernmost Germany, is a line of the House of Oldenburg, to which the royal house of Denmark, Norway and (formerly) Greece belongs.

This particular line helds from the Dukes of Schleswig-Holstein-Sĝnderborg-Beck. The last of them became Duke of Glücksburg and changed his title accordingly to Friedrich Wilhelm, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg. He was married to Luise Caroline, Princess of Hesse-Kassel, a granddaughter of King Frederik V of Denmark.

Neither the Dukes of Beck nor of Glücksburg were sovereign rulers - they held their lands in fief to the sovereign Dukes of Schleswig and Holstein - the Kings of Denmark and (before 1773) the Dukes of Holstein-Gottorp.

Christian, the fourth son of Friedrich Wilhelm. was chosen by the childless King Frederick VII of Denmark to be his heir, as Christian was married to Frederick's first cousin, Luise of Hesse. Wilhelm, the second son of Crown Prince Christian and Crown Princess Luise, was elected King of the Hellens on March 30, 1863 to succeed the deposed Wittelsbach Otto and took the name George I. His father became King of Denmark as Christian IX on November 15, 1863. Prince Karl, he second son of Crown Prince Frederik, Christian IX's eldest son, became King of Norway on November 18, 1905 as Haakon VII. Christian IX's daughters, Alexandra and Dagmar (who became Marie Feodorovna), married the Prince of Wales and the Tsesarevich, respectively, meaning that by 1914, descendants of Christian IX were nearly as prevalent on European thrones as those of Queen Victoria.
