The greatest times of Denmark (which had once ruled England under Knut the Great) were already over in 1200; still, in 1219 Denmark managed to conquer Estonia. (Legend has it that the Danish flag, the Dannebrog, fell from the sky during a battle in this year.) Its influence on Northern Germany, however, was lost in the Battle of Bornhöved, 1227. The year 1282 became a very important one for Denmark: In this year, the nobility forced the king to grant a charter, considered Denmark's first constitution.
