The Danehof ("Danish Court") was the name of the Danish parliament which became an institution during the rule of King Chrisoffer I.

Margaret Sambiria (c. 1230 – December 1282) was Queen of Denmark by marriage to King Christopher I, and regent during the minority of her son, King Eric V from 1259 until 1264.
