danish kings have the funniest names

[dontcrosscross]

 I've been pretty much falling asleep here for the past hour, but before I actually do, there's something I want to share with you guys. So today I got this book called A HISTORY OF THE KINGDOM OF DENMARK from a used book sale (seriously guys, I'll buy anything as long as it has pages, someone stop me before I buy ALL THE BOOKS). I don't know why Denmark, I blame partly Hamlet and partly Scandinavia and the World (which is absolutely awesome and everyone should go check it out). Anyway, at the back, there's a list of all the English and Danish kings/ruling people until whenever the book was published (which was  in the 60s), and oh my god, you guys, some of these old kings have the funniest names, I shit you not. I would have put them in "England" and "Denmark" categories, but it turns out all the funnily-named English kings were actually Danish, so it's all Denmark. I don't know anything about history, guys, I just like funny names, okay?

Gorm the Old
Harald Bluetooth
Sweyn Forkbeard
Harold Harefoot
(Guys, I feel like they all got their last names from some online generator)
Magnus the Good
Canute the Holy
Oluf Hunger
Valdemar the Victorious
Erik Ploughpenny

After a while they stop having funny names, and the Danish kings seem to alternate between one named Christian and one named Frederick.
