Denmark, 1513-1660 - Lockhart, Paul Douglas (Professor of History, Wright State University, US.)

One of the largest states in Europe, Denmark in the 16th and 17th-centuries was at the height of its influence. This work examines the unlikely career of Denmark as the major power of northern Europe, exploring its rise to the forefront of European affairs and its decline in fortunes following its disastrous involvement in the Thirty Years' War.
