Christopher III

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

Christopher III (1418-1448)

King of Denmark 1439-48), Norway 1442-48, and Sweden 1441-48. Royal power declined during his reign because of the commercial domination of the Hanseatic League and the increasing political authority of the Danish and Swedish councils of state.

In 1441 he repressed a rebellion by the peasantry of north Jutland, Denmark, and reduced them to near serfdom. He left no direct heir and the Scandinavian union was dissolved after his death.
