Above: Dorothea of Brandenburg, queen of Denmark, Norway and Sweden, artist unknown.
Dorothea of Brandenburg (born either in 1430 or 1431, died November 10, 1495) was Queen of Denmark, Norway and Sweden by her marriages to King Christoffer III and King Christian I. She served as interim regent during the interregnum in 1448, and as regent in the absence of her second husband during his reign.
She was the mother of two future kings of Denmark: King Hans, who ruled from 1481 to 1513, and King Frederik, who ruled from 1523 to 1533.
