Denmark-Norway
Denmark-Norway appears on the map from 1526 to 1814. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1626, it covered about 634,295 km².
One of the realms of Denmark–Norway. When the Kalmar Union fell apart after Sweden broke away in 1523, Denmark kept Norway, and in 1537 Christian III made Norway a dependency ruled from Copenhagen, along with Iceland, the Faroe Islands and claims to Greenland. The twin realms controlled the Sound, the narrow strait into the Baltic, and collected rich tolls from passing ships.
