Line 44 ⟶ 38:
"House of Glücksburg" is the shortened form of "House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg"{{Emdash}}a collateral branch of the [[House of Oldenburg]]. The house derives its name from two regions and two towns on the [[Jutland]] Peninsula.
 
The two regions of [[Schleswig]] and [[Holstein]] are divided by the [[Eider River]]. While Schleswig for centuries constituted the southernmost region of Denmark, [[Duchy of Holstein|Holstein]] historically has been the northernmost area within the [[Holy Roman Empire]]. The northern border of Holstein along the [[Eider (river)|Eider]] had already formed the northern border of [[Francia]] and the [[Carolingian Empire]], after Emperor [[Charlemagne]] upon the [[Saxon Wars]] reached an agreement with King [[Hemming of Denmark]] in 811. The lands of Schleswig beyond the river remained a fief of the Danish Crown, while Holstein became an integral part of [[East Francia]], the [[Kingdom of Germany]] and the [[Holy Roman Empire]]. Even earlier, the [[Eider (river)|Eider]] had already been the border river between [[Saxons]] and [[Polabian Slavs]] to the south, and Danes and [[North Frisians]] to the north. This is evidenced in the largely Slavic-derived [[toponomy]] in Eastern Holstein, as opposed to the many Danish-derived place names in Schleswig including Southern Schleswig. Since the [[1920 Schleswig plebiscites]], Schleswig has been divided between Denmark ([[Northern Schleswig]]), and Germany ([[Southern Schleswig]]).
 
The town of [[Sønderborg]]{{Emdash}}the German name of which is "Sonderburg"{{Emdash}}is located on the northern shores of the [[Flensburg Firth]] in Denmark (Northern Schleswig), while [[Glücksburg (Ostsee)]] lies on the southern shores of the firth in Germany (Southern Schleswig). The "Ostsee" suffix means "Baltic Sea" (''East Sea'').
Line 72 ⟶ 66:
Christian IX's daughters, [[Alexandra of Denmark|Alexandra]] and [[Maria Feodorovna (Dagmar of Denmark)|Dagmar]] (as ''Maria Feodorovna'') became the consorts of, respectively, King [[Edward VII|Edward VII of the United Kingdom]] and Emperor [[Alexander III of Russia]]. As a result, by 1914 descendants of King Christian IX held the crowns of several European [[realm]]s, and he became known as the "[[Father-in-law of Europe]]".
 
Christian IX's older brother inherited formal headship of the family as [[Karl, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg]], followed by their brother [[Friedrich, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg]]. It is his descendants who now represent the senior line of the Schleswig-Holstein branch of the House of Oldenburg, with [[ChristophFriedrich Ferdinand, Prince of Schleswig-Holstein]], as its current head.
