The Danes occupied what we know today as Normandy, and as such the “Normans” were only with difficulty held in check by the French. Eventually they became subjects of France after Rollo, their leader, adopted Christianity. By the 10th Century Normandy was Christianized and Christianity itself was known in Denmark. I think the Danes have always considered themselves a step above the Swedes, in smarts and in combat.

“I think the Danes have always considered themselves a step above the Swedes, in smarts and in combat.”

- We conquer mountains containing precious ore, wrestle Russia, Germany and Rome.

We dare to build what no one else could build, whilst our silly neighbors bark.

Stockholm of today rivals Silicon Valley and we Swedes also enjoy the highest standard of living on Earth of all nations. Danes and Norwegians don’t exactly.
