Dolls of the World Princess of the Danish Court Barbie Doll 2002 Mattel 56216

The landscape is lush and green, wild as the Vikings, the seafarers and warriors who once ruled this Danish countryside. A sleek horse gallops, fast as the wind. On his back rides a beautiful young woman, her blonde hair flying wildly in the sea breeze. Her bright blue eyes blaze with joy, Overhead soars her sleek pet merlin, a small falcon favored by royal ladies. Falconry, the art of training birds of prey, is called the sport of kings and is a favorite pastime.

The maiden rides across gently rolling plains, which turn to courtly plazas and colorful gardens. Ahead is a magnificent castle, her mother and father live here and rule over the Kingdom of Denmark, a glorious land bordering the Baltic and the North Seas. From the castle turrets fly red flags decorated with a large white cross. This is the Dannebrog the national flag. Legend tells that long ago in the country of Estonia, the Dannebrog fell from the sky to the Danish King Valdemar II.
