Are these the descendents of the Vikings?

How familiar are you with the history of the Danish royal family? One of the oldest monarchies in the world, the system of royalty in Denmark can trace its roots back to the Viking kings of over 1,000 years ago.

Small and quite low-key compared to their counterparts in neighboring countries, today's family is frequently seen out and about in Copenhagen, even riding bikes in the city. But why exactly did Denmark have a monarchy to begin with, and who were the notable figures throughout history who created a legacy for this small but now socially liberal nation?
