🔴 🇩🇰 🇸🇪 **Denmark’s new royal coat of arms marks the end of a 400-year-long Swedish-Danish conflict**

Martin Sunnqvist

_“In reality, the king’s decision to change the coat of arms was about bringing the different parts of the Danish kingdom together in a way that is more representative of modern Denmark. This is not a new practice. What is, however, surprising is his choice to remove a part of the royal coat of arms that has been there since 1397 and has been a source of conflict with Denmark’s neighbour Sweden.”_
