Margarethe II af Skandinavien

Margarethe II, Empress of Scandinavia (Margarethe Viktoria af Oldenburg; 26th June 1687 - 14th June 1705) was the Empress of Scandinavia following the death of her father, Frederik III, in 1704. Margarethe had one of the shortest reigns in Scandinavian history, having reigned a year and approximately three months. She was succeeded by her daughter, Louisa I, the first Wittelsbach monarch to grace the Scandinavian throne in 257 years. Her reign, in essence, was hardly remarkable politically, as it was so short. Her husband, Wilhelm Karl von Wittelsbach, later remarried her sister, Viktoria, Princess Royal.
