One more question...when Alexandra arrived and upon marrying future Edward VII her father was still not the King,Tennyson wrote a poem:
"Sea King's daughter from over the sea,
Alexandra!
Saxon and Norman and Dane are we,
But all of us Danes in our welcome of thee,
Alexandra!"
Technically,it would be a great offense to the present King of Denmark(at that time) proclaiming his Heir already a King by writing "Sea King's daughter"...Her father Christian was still at the time of her wedding just an heir to the throne and as such still a member of Glücksburg Ducal line(despite being Prince of Denmark at the same time) while King Frederick VII from the main Oldenburg line was still alive...
If it was taken literally one could also object to the fact that in Old Norse/Danish/Viking parlance, a "sea king" (
sækonungr) was not a territorial ruler, but more like a pirate leader!
In modern Danish it's a more peaceful creature though:
søkonge :-)
Though of course it can also be an allusion to the legendary Danish royal line of the Skjoldungs / Scyldings, known from Beowulf. Their legendary ancestor, King Skjold or Scyld, allegedly came to Denmark, England or Scania from the sea, in a boat or on a sheaf of grain, in some versions as a baby and/or son of of the god Odin. Obvious parallells to Moses in the basket and the Merovingians' legendary ancestor Merovech (who in light of the Holy Blood, Holy Grail legend can be interpreted as Mary Magdalen's offspring with Christ.... :-)
More to the point had it perhaps been if Tennyson had added "Angles" to the list of "Saxon, Norman and Dane" and focused on Alexandra as a Glücksborger, Glücksborg being situated in the region of Angeln, legendary ancestral home of the Angles who gave their name to Ænglaland / Anglia / England :-)
The erratic and archeologically interested, but also pragamatic Frederik VII may have thought: Better not go down that path.... :-)
