Occo of Schleswig (also Aage, Aagge, Ogge) was the bishop of the Diocese of Schleswig between 1141 and 1145 and again from 1161 to 1167.
The chapter of Schleswig Cathedral elected Occo bishop in 1138, after Bishop Rike had been elected the new bishop of Roskilde. [1] However, Eric III Lamb imposed his chaplain Hermann, who was born in the Holy Roman Empire. [1] So Occo was hindered to ascend the see. The city of Schleswig and the diocesan clergy preferred the Bishop elect Occo and after unrest among the townsfolk Hermann resigned, and Occo ascended. [1] Eric Lamb provided for Hermann with another position. [1]
Occo sided – unlike his Archbishop Eskil of Lund – with Olaf Haraldsen who aimed at dethroning his cousin Eric Lamb, but failed. [1] Occo then had to leave and went into French exile. [1] Eskil then consecrated Esbern as new bishop of Schleswig. The royal steward (or stadholder) for Schleswig, Nicolaus, ravaged Esberns's possessions and his residence (Old Gottorp). [2] So Esbern's relatives protected him and killed Nicolaus. [2] Fearing the royal revenge Esbern fled to Saxony, where he died in 1161. [2]
King Valdemar I the Great then reappointed Occo as bishop. [1] This made Eskil inflicting the ban on Occo, but due to internal quarrels in the church the bishop of Schleswig managed to stay in office until his death. [1] Starting in 1161 Occo built a new Gottorp Castle, replacing the destroyed one, however, on another site.

Absalon was a Danish statesman and prelate of the Catholic Church who served as the bishop of Roskilde from 1158 to 1192 and archbishop of Lund from 1178 until his death. He was the foremost politician and church father of Denmark in the second half of the 12th century, and was the closest advisor of King Valdemar I of Denmark. He was a key figure in the Danish policies of territorial expansion in the Baltic Sea, Europeanization in close relationship with the Holy See, and reform in the relation between the Church and the public. He combined the ideals of Gregorian Reform with loyal support of a strong monarchical power.
Frederick I was King of Denmark and Norway. He was the last Roman Catholic monarch to reign over Denmark and Norway, when subsequent monarchs embraced Lutheranism after the Protestant Reformation. As king of Norway, Frederick is most remarkable in never having visited the country and was never crowned as such. Therefore, he was styled King of Denmark, the Vends and the Goths, elected King of Norway. Frederick's reign began the enduring tradition of calling kings of Denmark alternatively by the names Christian and Frederick, which has continued up to the reign of the current monarch, Margrethe II.
Canute VI was King of Denmark (1182–1202). Contemporary sources describe Canute as an earnest, strongly religious man.
