THE Kalmar
Union existed for 25 years
under Margareta Valdemarsdotters leadership
Kalmar 1397.

>> Kalmarunionen/union.htm
At a conference held at Dalaborg Castle, in March 1388, the Swedes were
compelled to accept all Margaret's conditions, elected her "Sovereign
Lady and Ruler", and engaged to accept from her any king she chose to
appoint.
On February 24, 1389, Albert, who had returned from Mecklenburg
with an army of mercenaries, was routed and
taken prisoner at Aasle near Falköping, and Margaret was now
the omnipotent mistress of three kingdoms.

Og det er aldrig
afskaffet I stedet er det blevet glemt . . .
And the banner has never been
abolished but forgotten - probably deliberately because of 250
years of Scandinavian wars.
