Talk:Reformation in Denmark–Norway and Holstein

Background, Gustaf Trolle, interdict and the need for a functioning church
I would like someone to expand the chapter a bit with more Danish aspects of the situation, which, however, are in principle the same as in Sweden.

I wrote this section which is of great importance for understanding the political driving force behind the implementation of the Reformation in Denmark-Norway Holstein as well as in Sweden. Unlike the Reformation processes on the continent, which largely took place on individual personal initiative and revival, the Reformation in northern Europe (and later in England) was driven by a foreign policy conflict in which the pope was personally on the losing side, did not accept the regimes in Stockholm and Copenhagen and the Catholic Church were in practice on strike. And thus the need for a functioning church that recognized and supported the current regime.

The Reformations were initiated by a series of events through the collapse of the Kalmar Union in Sweden and the subsequent collapse of Christian II's regime in Copenhagen, where Frederik I took over. In Sweden, the central parts of the nobility were executed and Gustav Vasa ruled largely without having to take into account the nobility, while Frederik I came to power with the help of the nobility in Denmark and was dependent on them. In Denmark, the battle also continued until Count's Feud (where Trolle also dies) and Christian III came to power. Which made the following political underlying process more protracted in Denmark.

But despite this, the Danish kings and Gustav Vasa were in practice in the same situation and did common cause in several crucial issues for the new era, such as the relationship with the pope, the Reformation and also the relationship with Hansan.

I would like to see someone who writes a little more about the Danish political development that drives the Reformation in the country. (The theological aspects are fully covered by the rest of the article). --Zzalpha (talk) 20:29, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
