I disagree with the link in some points:
a}If King Georgios A,remained a protestand to the end of His life,then why did He changed His name from William to Georgios at 17,and buried according the Orthodox tradition at his 60's??
b}When the Greek commitee saw the "Royal Lad" they immediatelly saw their future King in His face!!He belonged to the line of Byzantine royals that spreaded all over the world after the fall of Constantinople
c}He bought TATOI land and residence with His OWN money that He brought from Denmark,and turned it into a Advsnced Prototype of Agricultural Cultivation,so the farming economy of His young Kingdom to adopt these methods{wich he was giving freely to farmers}so the population didn't starve.
e}His Young kingdom was actually a Protectorate of the three supepowers of that time!England,France and Russia...Politicians were loyal to one of the three,(otherwise they wouldn't be politicians)On the top of all that,land owners, berglars and groupists were destroying the counties of the small poor kingdom!!
He managed not only to resolve these problems,but to grow His Kingdom 2 times as much during his Reign......
Aside all these,if all historians will agree that he has lived as a Dane in His personal life in all His life then May God bless Denmark and her children!!!!!
