Quem namorou Christiaan IV van Denemarken?

Christiaan IV (Frederiksborg, 12 april 1577 – Kopenhagen, 28 februari 1648) was van 1588 tot 1648 koning van Denemarken en Noorwegen. Daarmee was hij de langst regerende Deense koning ooit, al werd het bestuur in de eerste acht jaar door regenten waargenomen. Hij was de zoon van koning Frederik II en Sophia van Mecklenburg-Güstrow.

Kirsten Madsdatter (died 1629) was King Christian IV of Denmark's lover, and the mother of one of his three acknowledged, illegitimate sons, Christian Ulrik Gyldenløve.

Kirsten Madsdatter was likely the daughter of Copenhagen's mayor Matthias Hansen, though this is unconfirmed. She was originally a chambermaid to Queen Anna Catherine. The relationship started before the death of the queen; their son was born in 1611. In 1612, the queen died. In 1612, Kirsten was married to Reinholt Hansen , who eventually took over as Mayor of Copenhagen after the death of Matthias Hansen. Meanwhile, the king found Karen Andersdatter who became his new mistress in 1613. Kirsten died in 1629.

Karen Andersdatter, död 1673, var älskarinna till Kristian IV av Danmark från 1613, och mor till tre barn med honom, varav en var en av tre erkända utomäktenskapliga sönerna till kungen, Hans Ulrik Gyldenløve.
