Christian founded the Oldenburg dynasty in Denmark, succeeding Christopher III of Bavaria (1418-48) as king. The Union of Kalmar, formulated in 1397, had united Denmark, Norway, and Sweden under one sovereign. This union was practically dissolved when Christian I became king of Denmark. Denmark and Norway were reunited, However, when he ascended the Norwegian throne. Christian seized the Swedish throne in 1457 but was able to enforce his authority in Sweden only intermittently until his final expulsion in 1471. In 1479 he founded the University of Copenhagen in the Danish capital.
