Who on Earth is the "Benjamin Bach" mentioned in this article? And who is the Benjamin Bach mentioned in the ariticle about Queen Margrethe II of Denmark? This claim must be verified.
I once saw that she was born in March 1353. Is that true? jeanne ( talk) 16:16, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
The name of her mother was Helvig in Danish, Heilwig in German, Haelwig in English, not Hedwig/Hedvig - and has been given correctly in this article's text amd info box all along. I have put in a move request for her page today to try to correct the mess made there through an undiscussed move last fall. SergeWoodzing ( talk) 12:16, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
--bibliography -- There is a very useful English-language biography of her that needs to be added at least to the English version, although the author (Vivian Etting) has since revised it in Danish: Vivian Etting, Queen Margrete I and the Founding of the Nordic Union (Leiden: Brill, 2004). 2old bill ( talk) 15:28, 29 May 2012 (UTC).:

There was never any Margaret II, so why is this at Margaret I? Tad Lincoln ( talk) 02:00, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
Really? One of the greatest geniuses in her realm (politics, especially diplomacy) and one of the most far sighted but unlucky conquerors ever. If modern Scandinavia had as much influence on modern media, imperialistic tendencies (past and present), secret taste for strongman (in this case strongwoman) leaders like the Anglo-Saxon, this woman would be all over the world's history books instead of Elizabeth I, Victoria ...etc (Not that I don't appreciate those two). But even excluding that, women history groups should take care to rescue females who should've been known more from obscurity. No other female (maybe just Isabella, Wu Zetian or Catherine II come close) matches this woman in her highly energetic, masculine, omnipresent style of rule (which would have been hard for even most men considered of strong mental and physical health).

Mixed indicates that there are as many historians who have negative opinions on her abilities as those who are positive about her. However it's anything but mixed. Any major figure in history has critics. It's fair to show the opinions of the minority, but if a person being criticized by even a minority means it's "mixed", then any person's reputation can be described as mixed. Also Larsen just criticizes her vision regarding some matters. She still describes Margaret as a great leader. So "historians' opinion on Margaret are mixed" are totally unacceptable.

The title Queen of Denmark was never given to Margaret when she was alive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.77.131.20 ( talk) 11:37, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
Also, Queen Margaret I was only chosen as regent of the various countries and ruled on behalf of her son, and therefore not “in her own right”, although she ruled by herself until her death, which does not diminish her impact in history.
Therefore, her title as Queen of Denmark should be removed, since she was never formally queen of Denmark, even though she might titled herself as this or was referred to as queen. Frederik Glerup Christensen ( talk) 18:36, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
Whatever the Pope called you was the title you had. Her contemporary Pope called her Queen of Denmark, Norway and Sweden. That settles that. -- SergeWoodzing ( talk) 17:52, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
The nickname "Queen breechless" - supposedly given by Albrecht of Mecklenburg, is widely regarded as a myth by modern historians (Such as Dick Harrison in his book on the Kalmar Union). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.162.82.134 ( talk) 10:05, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
I wrote to the user who did this and requested a source, rather than tagging the article. Having read everything there is about Margaret, I have never heard of that. -- SergeWoodzing ( talk) 12:42, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
Hi, in the section Death, it says she set sail in her ship, Trinity, with ref given, AFAICS, Chisholm/Encyc. Brit 1911, p. 702. The EB mentions Trinity as day of a meeting, but not as the name of a ship. It would also be surprising if she were to have named a ship in English, and not in Danish ("Treenigheden") ... However, there may be other sources which I'm not aware of, and so I didn't edit the article today. The edit will be to simply strike the one word, Trinity, leaving all the rest as is. If no source is presented in a modicum of time, I'll do that. T 84.208.65.62 ( talk) 19:25, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
I rolled back 3 edits by a user who wants us to use Olav (Norwegian) rather than Olaf (English). SergeWoodzing ( talk) 19:16, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
