Story
Christian havde svært ved at holde fingrene fra folkestyret og udløste i 1920 Påskekrisen, som nok er det tætteste Danmark har været på revolution. Alligevel blev han i forbindelse med genforeningen og under besættelsestiden et stærkt samlende symbol for folket. Også: En rasende Hitler og Danmarks længst siddende statsminister.

Story
Selvom Erik Emunes navn betyder "den mindeværdige", er han alligevel gået godt og grundigt i glemmebogen. Det er synd, for Eriks korte regeringstid var ganske dramatisk. I Roskildekrøniken betegnes han som en "rex tyrannus", og han halshuggede da også politiske modstandere og brændte Oslo ned til grunden. En jysk stormand med det mystiske navn Sorte Plov så sig dog gal på Erik, og det blev skæbnesvangert.

Enevældens sidste konge havde travlt med at holde sammen på helstaten og slippe udenom de demokratiske kræfter i samfundet. Lige lidt hjalp det: Da christian døde (af stupide årsager) var det sønderjyske spørgsmål mere sprængfarligt end nogensinde. Også: Vildt progressiv norsk forfatning samt en fræk fransk musiklærer.

Oluf var den tredje af Svend Estridsens sønner, som også blev konge.Hans lidet flatterende tilnavn skyldes, at han regerede i en tid med en hungersnød så slem, at han, ifølge Saxo, selv måtte undvære sin julemad. Da Oluf dør i 1095 tager Erik Ejegod over. Han får helgenkåret Knud den Hellige, gør Danmark til et selvstændigt ærkebispedømme og skaffer nordboere fri bar i Italien.

Story
Knud blev allerede som barn hyldet som Valdemars efterfølger, og dermed var der for engangs skyld styr på arvefølgen i middelalderens Danmark. Med hjælp fra ærkebisp Absalon videreførte Knud arbejdet med at udvide kongens territorium i Østersøen. Den tyske kejser ønskede dog at fastholde Danmark som sit len, og pludselig måtte den danske konge forholde sig til sabelraslen fra syd.

Sejrherren fra slaget på Grathe Hede blev i 1157 enekonge i et mildt sagt udfordret kongerige. Venderne hærgede, nordmænd og stormænd konspirerede og den tyske kejser gjorde Danmark til sit len og Valdemar til vasalkonge. I løbet af sin lange regeringstid fik Valdemar dog sammen med fosterbroderen Absalon vendt skuden og satte sig for endegyldigt at gøre kål på de gudløse vendere.

Bugislav fra Pommern fik navneforandring og blev sendt til Danmark for at blive fostersøn for Margrethe I. Da hun døde i 1412 stod han tilbage som en Europas mægtigste fyrster med den enorme Kalmar-union som sit domæne. Men kunne han løfte den tunge arv efter mægtige Margrethe? Det skulle vise sig at være svært at holde styr på vrangvillige svenskere mod øst og krigeriske holstenere mod syd. Også: Piratliv på Gotland og København som residensby.

Rollen som skurk og brodermorder klæber (berettiget) til kong Abels navn, men nøgternt anskuet skete mange fine ting i løbet afHans halvandet år på tronen. I hvert fald havde han et fint samarbejde med kirken og skabte bedre vilkår for samhandel med udlandet. Selvom Abel fik kongerækkens korteste regeringstid, kaster han en skygge langt frem i historien og er et grundlag for den dansk-tyske konflikt i spørgsmålet om Slesvig. Også: En frisisk pil og en kidnappende ærkebisp i Köln.

Valdemars regeringsperiode begyndte forrygende med militære sejre, heldige alliancer og et flag, som (efter sigende) kom dalende ned fra himlen. Men en dramatisk kidnapning på Lyø i 1223 satte en stopper for Valdemars optur, og herfra gik det tilbage for kongens magt syd for Danmark. Valdemar gik herefter over til at lave lovgivningsarbejde, hvilket udmøntede sig i Jyske Lov. Bonus: En smuk portugisisk dronning samt en fatal vådeskudsulykke.

Den evige kronprins Frederik stod alle måder i modsætning til sin far med sit liberale og demokratiske sindelag. Da han blev konge i 1906 klinkede han skårene med Venstre og accepterede den radikale regerings pacifistiske politik, selvom han var lodret uenig. Det blev dog ikke til mange år på tronen for Frederik, hvis søn Carl blev konge før ham. Også: En kæmpe svindler og redaktionelle uoverensstemmelser hos Kongerækken.

Frederik var som kronprins ude i kulden, men gennemførte under kaotiske omstændigheder et statskup i 1784 og styrede derefter landet helt indtil sin død i 1839. Englandskrigene blev en katastrofe for Danmark, som gik fallit og mistede Norge, men fra asken rejste sig et væld af store kulturpersonligheder som Kierkegaard, H.C. Ørsted og H.C. Andersen. Også: Danmarkshistoriens mærkeligste slåskamp og hård statslig censur.

To koner forlod den lunefulde og umodne Frederik, inden den jævne Grevinde Danner fik sat skik på ham. Da han blev konge i 1848 fik de borgerlige gennemtrumfet grundloven og fik indført delvist demokrati i Danmark. Forfatningsændringen blev dog en anledning for de tysksindede i hertugdømmerne at forsøge en løsrivelse, og dermed var Treårskrigen en realitet. Også: Julestue for undersåtter på kongeslottet og udgravninger i Jelling.

Christian VI var en indesluttet og dybt religiøs person, der som den første regent i kongerækken holdt Danmark ude af krig. Til gengæld indførte han en række sociale institutioner og hævede gennem konfirmationen folkets uddannelsesniveau betragteligt. Alligevel var han upopulær blandt folket på grund af sin sky facon og livsforjagende pietisme. Også: Christiansborg bygges og stavnsbåndet tynger bønderne.

Hvis ikke, så er hjælpen her nu. Med afsæt i de enkelte regenter genfortæller Hans Erik Havsteen og Anders Olling hele Danmarkshistorien.

“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
