Denmark-England

The Commonwealth of Denmark-England refers to a period of history in which the kingdoms of Denmark and England entered into a personal union with each other following the execution of English king James V and all of his surviving family in London by the French army during the Franco-Spanish War, with the then King of Denmark, Magnus XII, ascending to the throne of England.

Under Danish rule, England entered into a period of decline as Magnus and his successors were more interested in using England as a source of cheap food and laborers for Denmark and it's colonies of Greenland and Iceland. English were deported en mass to Greenland and Iceland, while Magnus began to encourage Danish settlement in England in the hopes of integrating his new holdings. Magnus, most infamously, disbanded the Church of England as an independent entity and installed a new Church of England, a Lutheran organization subservient to the Church of Denmark, and required all English citizens to be members by law.
