During the early part of the 13th century the counts carried on a series of wars
with independent, or semi-independent, Frisian princes to the north and west of
the county, which resulted in a gradual expansion of the Oldenburgian territory.
The free city of Bremen and the bishop of Münster were also frequently at war
with the counts of Oldenburg. In 1448, the successor of Count Dietrich(d. 1440),
called Fortunatus, was his son Christian, who elected king of Denmark as Christian
I (partly based on his maternal descent from previous Danish kings). Although far
away from the Danish borders, Oldenburg was now a Danish exclave. The control over
the town was left to the king's brothers, who established a short reign of tyranny.

In 1450 Christian became king of Norway and in 1457 king of Sweden; in 1460 he
inherited the Duchy of Schleswig and the County of Holstein, an event of high
importance for the future history of Oldenburg. In 1454 he handed over Oldenburg
to his brother Gerhard (about 1430-1499), a wild prince, who was constantly at
war with the bishop of Bremen and other neighbors. In 1483 Gerhard was compelled
to abdicate in favor of his sons, and he died whilst on a pilgrimage in Spain.
Early in the 16th century Oldenburg was again enlarged at the expense of the
Frisians. Protestantism was introduced into the county by Count Anton I (1505-
1573), who also suppressed the monasteries; however, he remained loyal to Charles
V during the war of the League of Schmalkalden, and was able thus to increase
his territories, obtaining Delmenhorst in 1547. One of Anton's brothers, Count
Christopher of Oldenburg (about 1506-1560), won some reputation as a soldier.

Anton's grandson, Anton Günther (1583-1667), who succeeded in 1603, considered
himself the wisest prince who had yet ruled Oldenburg. Jever had been acquired
before he became count, but in 1624 he added Knipphausen and Varel to his lands,
with which in 1647 Delmenhorst was finally united. By his neutrality during the
Thirty Years' War and by donating valuable horses to warlord Count of Tilly,
Anton Günther secured for his dominions an immunity from the terrible devastations
to which nearly all the other states of Germany were exposed. He also obtained
from the emperor the right to levy tolls on vessels passing along the Weser, a
lucrative grant which soon formed a material addition to his resources. In 1607
he erected a Renaissance castle.

After the death of Anton Günther, Oldenburg fell again under Danish authority. In 1773,
Danish rule ended and, in 1777, the County of Oldenburg was raised to a duchy. By the
Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803, Oldenburg acquired the Oldenburger Münsterland
and the Bishopric of Lübeck. Between 1810 and 1814, Oldenburg was occupied by Napoleonic
France. Its annexation into the French Empire in 1810, was one of the cause for the
diplomatic rift between former allies France and Russia, a contention that would lead to
war in 1812 and eventually to Napoleon's downfall. In 1815 it acquired the Principality
of Birkenfeld and in 1829 Oldenburg became a grand duchy. Parliament building (Landtag)
In 1871 Oldenburg joined the German Empire, and in 1918 it became a free state within
the Weimar Republic.

In 1937, it lost the exclave districts of Eutin near the Baltic coast and Birkenfeld
in southwestern Germany to Prussia and gained the City of Wilhelmshaven; however, this
was a formality, as the Hitler regime had de facto abolished the federal states in
1934.By the beginning of World War II in 1939, as a result of these territorial changes,
Oldenburg had an area of 5,375 km² (2,075.3 sq mi) and 580,000 inhabitants. After World
War II, Oldenburg was merged into the newly founded state of Lower Saxony as the
administrative region (Regierungsbezirk) of Oldenburg.

The House of Oldenburg

 The House of Oldenburg is a North German dynasty and one of Europe's most
influential Royal Houses. It rose to prominence when Count Christian I of
Oldenburg was elected King of Denmark in 1448, and of Norway in 1450. The
house has occupied the Danish throne ever since. Marriages of medieval
counts of Oldenburg had paved the way for their heirs to become kings of
various Scandinavian kingdoms. In 14th century, through marriage with a
descendant of King Valdemar I of Sweden and of King Eric IV of Denmark,
a claim to Sweden and Denmark was staked, since 1350.

At that time, its competitors were the successors of Margaret I of Denmark.
In the 15th century, the Oldenburg heir of that claim married Hedwig of
Schauenburg, a descendant of Euphemia of Sweden and Norway and also a
descendant of Eric V of Denmark. Since descendants better situated in
genealogical charts died out, their son Christian (the abovementioned)
became the king of all the three kingdoms of whole Kalmar Union. The House
of Mecklenburg was its chief competitor regarding the Northern thrones,
and other aspirants included, e.g., the Duke of Lauenburg.

The House Titles and Styles

The present members of this family bear the title Duke/Duchess

of Oldenburg (Highness). The head of the family and the heir

apparent apparently enjoy the style "Royal Highness".
