King Harald ordered the monument to be built in memory of his father Gaum and his mother Trina. Harald conquered all of Denmark and Norway and made Danes Christians. Although nearly a thousand years have passed since King harald Brubad's achievements were recorded in Yelin's, Europeans today will inevitably have a cold war when they mention the "terrible Viking Age". Just like that day, Norman pirates braved the wind and waves and dominated the party wherever they went. There was an emperor who pushed Norman pirates to the peak, but he also played an important role in preventing pirates from beating drums. He is the proud King of Brubad, harald.
He is called the king of Bluetooth because he likes Bluetooth. He is the son of the old king Gaum. The era of King Gaum and King harald Bader was the era of Danish formation. In the middle of jutland, there is a small town called Yelin. There are two stones in front of the church in Yelin, one is big and the other is small. The big stone is engraved with the image of Christ with a halo on his head and the image of Owen in Gubei. This is the tombstone that harald erected on the graves of his father and mother. Danes call these two stones "Yelin Stone" and regard the stone tablet as proof of the birth of the Danish Kingdom. In the era of the old King Gaum, the Danes, under the leadership of Queen Trilla, built the "Danavik Line" in the south of jutland in order to resist the invasion of Wendell and Saxon in the south. After Lan Wang Ya succeeded to the throne, all the islands around Schleswig and jutland were merged into Danish territory, and a unified Danish kingdom was formally formed. In 19961year, he took advantage of the civil strife in Norway to send troops to invade Norway, defeated and killed King Haakon of Norway, forced Norway to submit, and laid the foundation for Denmark and Norway to join hands in the next Millennium. During his reign, he intervened in the succession of the throne in Normandy, France, and was a pioneer of pirates.
But if Badkin's career is limited to this, he is at best an influential emperor in Northern Europe. Because of his influence on the whole European historical process, he was placed in a prominent position in this ranking.
As early as the 4th and 5th centuries, Normans began to move around Europe, mainly engaged in trade, and sometimes settled there. However, since the late 8th century, Norman activities have gradually turned into large-scale and destructive pirate activities, which may be due to population pressure on the one hand and class differentiation in the late primitive society on the other, deepening social contradictions. Their wooden boats are fast and shallow, and it is easy to go upstream from Haikou and go deep into the inland. The Danes mainly attacked France and England, the Norwegians attacked Scotland and Ireland, and the Swedes developed into Eastern Europe. Later, the Liurik dynasty was established in Ross. Wherever they went, they burned, killed and looted, and sometimes demanded ransom. Rich monasteries were the main targets of their attack.
In his later years, King harald Brubad saw that every summer when pirates went out to attack, Danish people almost went empty, while neighboring Germany became stronger and stronger, taking the opportunity to attack pirates' own base areas. Worried, Bluetooth King advocates slowing down the pace of foreign invasion and expansion and paying attention to his own safety. However, his idea was strongly opposed by the faction headed by his son Swan. The contradiction between their father and son is also related to Svan's adoptive father, Parnatok, and Bluebud King probably persecuted Parnatok many times because of jealousy, which almost killed him, causing Svan's strong dissatisfaction. The contradiction between father and son finally developed to the point of incompatibility. In the end, the father and son went to sea by boat (not the kui is a pirate kingdom, not even a duel). The Bluetooth old king couldn't beat his son Swan, so he fled into the forest and was shot by Panatok in the forest.
Although harald Bud King's idea of slowing expansion did not come true, his rule brought another great change to Denmark, but it did lead to the end of the pirate era. This is an introduction to Christianity. This also starts from the primitive religion of Denmark-Odin belief.
Odin, the highest god in Norse legend, is the god of war. His residence is called "Val Hall". It is said that all the soldiers who fought bravely in the war can ascend to heaven after being killed, become Odin's guests, live with Odin in the Val Hall and experience a wonderful life forever. Therefore, the bravery of the Normans in the battle is closely related to their worship of Odin (of course, it is also related to the harsh living environment in northern Europe). Later, Western Europeans who suffered from Norman invasion realized that the fundamental way to make the Vikings converge was to change their faith in Odin and spread Christianity to them.
At the beginning of the 9th century, Father Ansgar actively spread Christianity to Denmark and was called "the founder of Nordic missionaries". But until the reign of Bluetooth King, Christians were still a minority in Denmark. A bishop named Bobo tried to persuade Bluetooth Wang Gai to believe in Christianity. It is said that he told King Bader that he could prove the power of God with a piece of red-hot iron. King Bader ordered a piece of red-hot iron to be put in his hand. After a while, Bishop Bobo's hand was not hurt. King Bader was awed by the power of God, converted to Christianity and accepted the baptism of Christianity. A large number of his subjects also converted to Christianity with him. Since then, Christianity has replaced Odin's belief and gained a mainstream position in Denmark.
How to measure the far-reaching impact of this event in European history? Due to the conversion to Christianity, which advocated patience and obedience, the expansion of Norman pirates in various parts of Europe gradually stopped (of course, there may be other reasons for this process, but conversion to Christianity is undoubtedly a key turning point). As a result, western Europe gradually became peaceful, the population gradually increased, and the mentality changed from defending to attacking. Therefore, with the subsequent Crusades, Western Europeans gradually broadened their horizons until the later Renaissance. ...
After the Nordic people converted to Christianity, their national character has also undergone far-reaching changes, gradually getting rid of the smell of pirates. Today, they have become the nation with the highest average cultural literacy in the world.
