Notes:
A lot of scenes and dialogues are based on historical happenings revolving around Sweden, Denmark and Norway.
First would be the reference to the Normandy raiding (not D-Day) when Norway came back from raiding France and the result was Normandy being part of Viking rule and the place named after Norway itself. (From Fabrorelskerpojkar videos)
Second is the scene of the Black Death. Denmark said something along the lines of being visited by the ghost ship. This is so because people in Denmark back then went on with the tradition that the plague came to Denmark on a ghost ship that beached itself on the coast of northern Jutland. Those who went aboard found the dead swollen and black faced, but stayed long enough to take valuable things and thereby introduced the disease to the population. (From Valdemar IV of Denmark article in wiki)
Third the Kalmar Union. As the messenger said, it is the union of the three Kingdoms of Norway, Denmark and Sweden along with Finland and Norway's dependencies under one monarch, which is Denmark's royals. The 'her Highness' mentioned is Queen Margaret I of Denmark, the first regent of the union. (Kalmar Union article in wiki)
Fourth, tension within the Union of Kalmar gradually led to an open conflict between Denmark and Sweden in te 15th Century. I also applied my headcanon of how Sweden came to wear glasses. It's not very original though because it's just somehow tweaked from the Fabrorelskerpojkar video where Norway shot Sweden because he was insulting the former's parsley.

Fifth, in the 16th Century at the final disintegration of the Kalmar Union, Gustavus Vasa had overthroned the Danish King Christian II, who was supported by Catholic Bishops. He used the Protestant's reformation and became King Gustavus I in 1523, the last yer of the Kalmar Union. This is the start of my headcanon about Sweden's infamous lack of vowels. I do not exactly approve of this vowel dropping but I deemed it worthy to be included in the name of angst.(History of Sweden article in wiki)
Sixth. Saaremaa was part of Danish Estonia from 1570-1645. In 1645, Saaremaa became a colony of Sweden. It was rich in natural resources that became in favor for Sweden.
Seventh. The Treaty of Kiel in 1814. UK and Sweden vs Denmark-Norway and France in the Napoleonic Wars. Despite the efforts of the Nordics to maintain neutrality, they still got involved and joined opposite camps. After a few years, it became UK, Russia, Sweden and Prussia vs Denmark-Norway and France. Sweden's condition for entering the anti-Napoleonic alliance was to gain Norway which was not acknowledge by the awesome Prussia sometime in June, but they eventually agreed in July. Denmark got isolated in this war and therefore, lost Norway except it's dependencies to Sweden in the Dano-Swedish treaty under the Treaty of Kiel. (My understanding of the Treaty of Kiel article in wiki)
Eight. Some time at the start of the treaty, is the first scene where Sweden was pissed at Norway, the reason behind this is that Christian Frederick, the Crown Prince of Denmark and Norway, was using the tension between Sweden and Norway to secretly re-unify Denmark-Norway, which of course would piss Sweden. (Treaty of Kiel from wiki)
Ninth. The independence of Norway from Swedish rule in 1905.
Tenth. Song was inspired by George deValier's (in FFNN) Lili of the Lamplight. My most favorite fic of his and I don't even like PruAus! Lili Marleen a 1939 song originally sung by Lale Andersen during the WWII that was equally loved by both Axis and Allies. It was found by a lieutenant on leave in Vienna that was asked to collect some record for broadcast. Radio Belgrade frequently played it for the lack of recording. The Nazi, at one point, ordered the song to stop but Radio Belgrade received many letter from the Axis soldiers all over Europe to play it. The Nazi reluctantly changed their mind and allowed it. From the on, Lili Marleen became the signing-off tune at 9:55 pm. (Lili Marleen on wiki)
Eleventh. Men en havfrue har ingent tårer, så derfor lider hun så meg et mere. is the Danish of HC Andersen's quote which means "But a mermaid has no tears, and therefore she suffers so much more." Translated to me by the amazing Admin Turtle of Sigurd Bondevik (APH Norway) page on facebook. The best Norway rp page ever!
