Fagbøger for børn og unge: kongelige

Kongehusets egen julekalender, der viser hidtil usete sider af de danske slotte. Klip nisserne ud og hæng dem på juletræet.”I en skuffe på Hendes Majestæt Dronningens modtagelsesværelse på Amalienborg ligger et særligt kort. Det er Nissernes danmarkskort, hvorpå seks røde krydser viser, hvor julestemning findes, hvis den af en eller anden årsag ikke opstår af sig selv i december. Kortet vogtes af Dronningens lille nissefamilie, og heldigvis er det mange år siden, at nisserne har været nødt til at tage kortet i brug. Også i år finder Dronningen kortet og nisserne frem, når kalenderen tager hul på den tolvte måned. Men i år er der noget, som ikke er, som det plejer at være …”Således begynder Kongehusets julekalender, hvori læseren kommer vidt omkring på en række af de kongelige danske slotte – og oplever meget mere, end hvad øjet umiddelbart kan se.Undervejs besøger fortællingens nisser bl.a. snedkerværkstedet på Amalienborg, Hendes Majestæt Dronningens garageanlæg, Dronning Ingrids gamle hattedepot, Christian den 10.’s billardrum, Prins Henriks skrivebord, Kongeskibet Dannebrog, er et smut forbi Holger Danske og får et kig i Dronning Alexandrines gamle kikkert. Nisserne danmarkskort er lavet i samarbejde med Hendes Majestæt Dronningen, der også har skabt historiens fire nissefigurer – som læseren selv kan klippe ud efter de skabeloner, Dronningen har tegnet.Bogen er rigt illustreret med en lang række fotografier fra Kongehusets egne gemakker og arkiver samt stemningsfulde illustrationer af Peter Bay Alexandersen.

For adskillige hundrede år siden, da Nissefar var en ung Kongehusnisse aftalte han med en juleengel, at han roligt kunne sove hele året med undtagelse af december, så længe han holdt styr på Kongerækken og Kongehusets historie. Det gik fint de første mange år, men på det seneste har Nissefar kun tænkt på at sprede juleglæde på de kongelige slotte og har glemt alt om Kongerækken – han har sågar glemt at fortælle sine børn om de mange, der har siddet på tronen i Danmark, inden Hendes Majestæt Dronning Margrethe II besteg tronen i 1972. Det bliver en travl december for nissefamilien!Omdrejningspunktet for fortællingen er en oplevelsesrejse gennem den danske kongerække, hvor nisserne i følgeskab af en juleengel støder på spor, som danske konger og dronninger gennem mere end 1000 år har efterladt sig. Juleeventyret bringer dermed fortællinger om nogle af de mange majestæter, som har siddet på den danske trone forud for Dronningen, og således markerer julekalenderens tema samtidig, at Dronningen i 2022 har haft 50-års Regeringsjubilæum.Nissefars julerejse gennem kongerækken er lavet i samarbejde med Hendes Majestæt Dronningen, der også har skabt historiens nissefigurer – som læseren selv kan klippe ud efter de skabeloner, Dronningen har tegnet.Bogen er rigt illustreret med en lang række fotografier fra Kongehusets egne gemakker og arkiver samt stemningsfulde illustrationer af Peter Bay Alexandersen.

Richard II was King of England from 1377 until he was deposed in 1399. Born in 1367, Richard was the son of Edward the Black Prince and grandson of King Edward III. He ascended the throne at the young age of 10 after his grandfather's death.Richard's early reign was largely controlled by his uncles. He assumed full power in 1389 at age 22. Considered intelligent and cultured, Richard promoted architecture, the arts and education. He was also very extravagant in his lifestyle and spent lavishly on court culture.However, Richard proved an ineffective ruler. His policies irked powerful barons and commoners alike. Heavy taxation burdens sparked the Peasants' Revolt in 1381, which saw thousands march against the king. Richard met the rebels and agreed to their demands, but later reneged on his promises.Richard's absolutist approach and his heavy reliance on favorites fueled discontent. Conflict with the barons led to his uncle Thomas of Woodstock's murder in 1397. Richard had Thomas's son exiled and crushed all opposition to his rule - a move that backfired and eroded his authority.In 1399, Richard's cousin Henry Bolingbroke returned from exile to reclaim his inheritance. Richard's support quickly collapsed and he was forced to abdicate. The Parliament deemed Richard unfit for rule. He was imprisoned and murdered at Pontefract Castle in 1400 at age 33.Richard's autocratic tendencies and failure to work with the nobility led to his downfall after a turbulent reign. But his lavish tastes and patronage left a cultural legacy that included Westminster Hall in London. Richard II met a tragic end, but his flair for pageantry and the arts resonated through English history.
