| Sources and notes: | |
| [1] | Margrete Valdemarsdatter is given the style Dronning (Queen) since she is the queen-dowager of Norway; she is not Queen regnant in any one of her three realms, despite some suggestive documents. Each realm devised a contorted style for her authority (these styles have variants). Denmark decided, upon the accession of the current Queen, to style Margrete Valdemarsdatter as Margrethe 1., so that the current Queen is Margrethe 2. |
