The pan-Scandinavian triple monarchy whose Margaret I diplomatic statecraft genius and Stockholm Bloodbath dissolution triggering atrocity made them the most ambitiously conceived and dramatically dissolved multi-kingdom union.
Kalmar Union — the triple monarchy of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden forged in 1397 under Queen Margaret I, the most politically gifted ruler in medieval Scandinavian history, whose de facto sovereignty over all three kingdoms represented the most remarkable personal achievement in Nordic statecraft. Their Norway, the most demographically devastated of the three kingdoms — the Black Death killing between half and two-thirds of its population — entered the union as the most weakened partner, its nobility so decimated that Danish administrators dominated Norwegian governance for generations. Their union's end came with Gustav Vasa's Swedish revolt following the Stockholm Bloodbath of 1520, in which Christian II executed the most prominent Swedish nobles and bishops in the most politically catastrophic act of royal violence in Scandinavian history.
