83 | The Danish King Who Played the Dating Game of Thrones

83 | The Danish King Who Played the Dating Game of Thrones

In this episode, Derek, Conrad, and Brooke welcome back our resident royal expert, Anna Marie, for another fascinating look at Danish royalty. She kicks things off by quizzing us on some of Denmark’s most intriguing kings and queens before diving into the life and legacy of King Christian IX. How did a king from a relatively small nation manage to shape several European monarchies for generations? And what did these new alliances mean for Denmark’s place on the world stage?


King Christian IX of Denmark wasn’t just a ruler—he was the ultimate matchmaker. Known as the “Father-in-Law of Europe,” he strategically married off his children and grandchildren to the most powerful thrones of the 19th and 20th centuries, turning Denmark into an unexpected royal powerhouse—one wedding at a time.
