Kong Christian stod ved højen mast [SEP] country of origin
Kong Christian stod ved højen mast
Kong Christian stod ved højen mast (; "King Christian stood by the lofty mast"), commonly shortened to Kong Christian, is the royal anthem of the Kingdom of Denmark. It also has equal status of national anthem together with "Der er et yndigt land", though it is almost exclusively used in relation to the Danish royal house and the military. The theme of the song is about the heroics of Danish sailors during the wars against Sweden in the 17th and 18th centuries.
