Around year 900, in the misty crossroads of Jutland, a king named Gorm laid the foundation of a dynasty that would outlast empires. A thousand years before Frederik X took the throne, Denmark's first historically attested kings carved their names into runestones, England's coastline, and the bedrock of Northern Europe. Gorm the Old. Harald Bluetooth - who united a kingdom and gave his name to the technology connecting your world.
Sweyn Forkbeard, who conquered England in five weeks. Cnut the Great, whose North Sea Empire briefly made Denmark the dominant power of medieval Europe. This is their story, told in stark black-and-white inked panels - a graphic chronicle of the Viking kings whose ambitions, betrayals, and conversions shaped a kingdom that still stands today. Volume 1 of Denmark's Royal Legacy, an ongoing graphic chronicle covering more than a thousand years of Danish royal history - from the half-mythic warlords of the Early Middle Ages to the present-day reign of Frederik X.
