Counts of Oldenburg

Derrick or Dietrich of Oldenburg, latin-based anglicization also Theoderic of Oldenburg 1 (c. 1398–February 14, 1444), nicknamed Theoderic the Lucky or the Fortunate (Teudericus Fortunatus), was a feudal lord in northern Germany, holding the counties of Delmenhorst and Oldenburg. He was called "Fortunatus" as he was able to secure Delmenhorst for his branch of the Oldenburgs.

He was the son of Count Christian V of Oldenburg (who became count in about 1398 and died in 1423) and his wife Countess Agnes of Honstein. His grandfather, Count Conrad I of Oldenburg had left his lands divided between his father and his uncle Conrad II.

His father Christian V managed to gain the upper hand when Conrad II's son Maurice IV died in 1420. After this, most of Oldenburg family patrimony was under the power of Theodoric's branch. However, the house had several minor branches who had estates and claims, as was usual in any medieval fief. Theodoric succeeded his father as head of the house in 1423. ... more

Christian 1 ~ blev født i 1426 og døde i 1481 ~ I 1448 døde Christoffer af Bayern og da han ikke efterlod sig nogen børn benyttede det svenske rigsråd lejligheden til at vælge den tidligere rigsforstander Karl Knutsson til konge i Sverige, ligesom det lykkedes dem også at få ham anbragt i den norske trone. Kalmarunionen – den nordiske union fra Christoffer af Bayerns tid var i realiteten gået i opløsning, for var der noget danskerne ikke ønskede, var det at få en svensker som konge.
