Moin aus Brake! Habe gerade diese Mail mitgelesen. Anscheinend muß ich mein 
Geschichts-Wissen völlig erneuern, bitte mal um Aufklärung: ein Ludwig der 
Neunzehnte (! Gab es überhaupt soviele, endet die Zählung nicht beim 18.?) 
okkupierte im Jahre 1779 Oldenburg ???? Das 1779 ist wohl ein Schreibfehler 
(2x !), aber zählt ihr in Dänemark die römischen Zahlzeichen anders ? 
Tschüß, K.Kirsch

Unfortunately, you don't read Danish (I presume!). Otherwise, you could
read about the Swedish-Danish war 1675-79 in Politikens Danmarkshistorie
VIII, pp. 161 ff, and about the peace establihed as a result of the
intervention by Louis XIX in 1779 pp. 249 ff. In general France and
other nations were not interested in the Sound (Øresund between Zealand
and Scania) being controlled entirely by either Denmark or Sweden.
Hence, Louis XIX in 1779 occupied Oldenburg and forced Denmark to give
up the territories it had won during the war.
