Grand Duchy
of Oldenburg Groß Herzogtum Oldenburg House of Oldenburg The Duchy of Oldenburg (German: Herzogtum Oldenburg) - named after its capital, the town of Oldenburg - was a state
in the north-west of present-day Germany. Oldenburg survived from 1180 until 1810 when it was annexed by First French Empire.
It was located near the mouth of the River Weser. Its ruling family, the House of Oldenburg, also came to rule in Denmark,
Norway, Sweden, Greece and Russia, and the heirs of a junior line of the Greek branch are likely to inherit the thrones of
the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth realms after the death or abdication of Queen Elizabeth II.  The first known count of Oldenburg is Elimar I, Count
of Oldenburg (d. 1108). Elimar's ancestors appear as vassals, though sometimes rebellious ones, of the dukes of Saxony; but
they attained the dignity of princes of the empire when the emperor Frederick I dismembered the Saxon duchy in 1180. At this
time, the county of Delmenhorst formed part of the dominions of the counts of Oldenburg, but afterwards it was on several
occasions separated from them to form an apanage for younger branches of the family. This was the case between 1262 and 1447,
between 1463 and 1547, and between 1577 and 1617.  During the
early part of the 13th century the counts carried on a series of wars with independent, or semi-independent, Frisian princes
to the north and west of the county, which resulted in a gradual expansion of the Oldenburgian territory. The free city of
Bremen and the bishop of Münster were also frequently at war with the counts of Oldenburg. In 1440, Christian succeeded his father Dietrich, called Fortunatus, as Count of Oldenburg.
In 1448 Christian was elected king of Denmark as Christian I, partly based on his maternal descent from previous Danish kings.
Although far away from the Danish borders, Oldenburg was now a Danish exclave. The control over the town was left to the king's
brothers, who established a short reign of tyranny. 
In 1450
Christian became king of Norway and in 1457 king of Sweden; in 1460 he inherited the Duchy of Schleswig and the County of
Holstein, an event of high importance for the future history of Oldenburg. In 1454 he handed over Oldenburg to his brother
Gerhard (about 1430-99), a wild prince, who was constantly at war with the bishop of Bremen and other neighbors. In 1483,
Gerhard was compelled to abdicate in favor of his sons, and he died while on pilgrimage in Spain. 
Early
in the 16th century Oldenburg was again enlarged at the expense of the Frisians. Protestantism was introduced into the county
by Count Anton I (1505-73), who also suppressed the monasteries; however, he remained loyal to Charles V during the Schmalkaldic
War, and was able thus to increase his territories, obtaining Delmenhorst in 1547. One of Anton's brothers, Count Christopher
of Oldenburg (about 1506-60), won some reputation as a soldier. Anton's grandson, Anton Günther (1583-1667), who succeeded in
1603, considered himself the wisest prince who had yet ruled Oldenburg. Jever had been acquired before he became count, but
in 1624 he added Kniphausen and Varel to his lands, with which in 1647 Delmenhorst was finally united. By his neutrality during
the Thirty Years' War and by donating valuable horses to warlord Count of Tilly, Anton Günther secured for his dominions
an immunity from the terrible devastations to which nearly all the other states of Germany were exposed. He also obtained
from the emperor the right to levy tolls on vessels passing along the Weser, a lucrative grant which soon formed a material
addition to his resources. In 1607 he erected a Renaissance castle. After the death of Anton Günther, Oldenburg fell
again under Danish authority.  In 1773 Christian VII of Denmark surrendered
Oldenburg to Paul I of Russia and in return Paul gave up to Christian the Duchy of Holstein-Gottorp and his claims on the
Duchy of Schleswig and the Duchy of Holstein. At once Paul handed over to his kinsman, Frederick August I, Duke of Oldenburg,
the representative of a younger branch of the family, and in 1777 the county was raised to the rank of a duchy. The duke's
son William, who succeeded his father in 1785, was a man of weak intellect, and his cousin Peter I, Grand Duke of Oldenburg,
acted as administrator and eventually, in 1823, inherited the throne. By
the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803, Oldenburg acquired the Oldenburger Münsterland and the Bishopric of Lübeck.
Between 1810 and 1814, Oldenburg was occupied by Napoleonic France. Its annexation into the French Empire, in 1810, was one
of the causes for the diplomatic rift between former allies France and Russia, a dispute that would lead to war in 1812 and
eventually to Napoleon's downfall. In 1815 it acquired the Principality of Birkenfeld and in 1829 Oldenburg became a grand
duchy. In 1871 Oldenburg joined the German Empire, and in 1918 it became a free state within the Weimar Republic. 
House of
Oldenburg The
House of Oldenburg is a North German dynasty and one of Europe's most influential Royal Houses with branches that rule or
have ruled in Denmark, Russia, Greece, Norway, Schleswig, Holstein, Oldenburg and Sweden. The current Queen of Denmark, the
King of Norway and the ex-King of Greece as well as consorts of Spain, Greece and the United Kingdom belong to this House.
It rose to prominence when Count Christian I of Oldenburg was elected King of Denmark in 1448, and of Norway in 1450. The
house has occupied the Danish throne ever since. Marriages of medieval counts of Oldenburg had paved the way for their heirs
to become kings of various Scandinavian kingdoms. Through marriage with a descendant of King Valdemar I of Sweden and of King
Eric IV of Denmark, a claim to Sweden and Denmark was staked, since 1350. 
At that time, its competitors
were the successors of Margaret I of Denmark. In the 15th century, the Oldenburg heir of that claim married Hedwig of Schauenburg,
a descendant of Euphemia of Sweden and Norway and also a descendant of Eric V of Denmark. Since descendants better situated
in genealogical charts died out, their son Christian (the abovementioned) became the king of all three kingdoms of the whole
Kalmar Union. The House of Mecklenburg was its chief competitor regarding the Northern thrones, and other aspirants included
the Duke of Lauenburg. Different Oldenburgine branches have reigned in several countries. The House of Oldenburg was briefly
poised to claim the thrones of England and Scotland through the marriage of the Stuart Princess Anne (later Queen) to Prince
George of Denmark and Norway; however, following the early death of their only heir, Prince William, Duke of Gloucester, the
line of succession passed to the House of Hanover.
