1131-34 conflict

@Marius Kristiansen: in light of your recent contributions relating to the 1131-34 part of the conflict I’m going start a major rewrite of the lead + the first section for easier navigability as well as adding more citations.

Also, from my perspective, the 1131-34 conflict appears to be its own separate conflict. Should we split the article? I’m not extremely well-versed in Danish history and would love some other perspectives in case I’m wrong. Thanks! Flalf^Talk 14:07, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In Denmark they call it the civil war period (Borgerkrigsperioden), as their is a state of constant unrest and lack of legitimacy towards the ruling kings, so most danish historians would propably not seperate them or at least if they were seperated it is more along the lines of how you seperate the hundred years war. Were you have an Edwardian phase, a Lancastrian phase. Their is also something i forgot to add. Their are actually 3 phases, where one of the surviving sons of Harald Kesja is warring with Eric III, so i think i will be adding that soon, and then of cause the final and third phase, the war of three kings, Sweyn, Canute and Valdemar.

Okay, I'm working on rewriting and citing the other part, feel free to add more. I can clean it up. Flalf^Talk 14:58, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Everything checks out article-wise. However, I think the hook should specify who "they" were. Songwaters (talk) 22:17, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
