Sinopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Gerhard III of Holstein (Rendsburg) (about 1292 - April 1, 1340). Sometimes called "Gerhard the Great". In Denmark also known as "Count Gert" or "den kullede greve" (Eng.: The bald Count). A German prince who was the ruler of most part of Denmark during the Interregnum 1332-1340. His father was Henry I of Schauenburg and Holstein-Rendsburg (ca. 1258 - 5 August 1304). Gerhard inherited his part of the county of Holstein as a boy but already as a young man he enlarged his heritage by manoeuvring out his relatives and his conquest of other parts of Holstein made him a powerful local prince. In these years he also acted as a paid condottiere for neighbouring kings which made him a mortgagee of for instance King Eric VI of Denmark. He often worked together with his Holstein cousin Count Johan of Plön. 1325 Gerhard began his career in the North by taking over the guardianship for his minor nephew Duke Valdemar of Schleswig. This position made him a possible ally of the dissatisfied Danish magnates and 1326 he dethroned King Christopher II together with the Danish rebels.
