Pictured above is a fragment of the genealogical tree of King Christian III of Denmark. From Christian III (1503-59, reigned 1534-59), a branch leads to his father, Frederik I (1471-1533, reigned 1523-33) and from here to Frederik's parents Christian I (1426-81, reigned 1448-1481) and Dorothea of Brandenburg. From here the branches continue, with the result that the top row consists of Christian III's great-great-grandparents. The genealogical trees of Christian and his queen, Dorothea of Lauenburg, were painted on wooden panels now hung at Frederiksborg Castle in Denmark.
