Issue
Among the six children of Christian II three are of particular interest. Prince John (Danish: Hans) died as a boy in exile in 1532. The two daughters Dorothea, Electress Palatine, and Christina, Duchess of Lorraine, both in turn, for many years, demanded in vain the Danish and Norwegian thrones as their inheritance. Christian II's blood returned to the Swedish and Norwegian thrones in the person of Charles XV of Sweden.
By his wife, Isabella of Austria (1501–1526)

Famous quotes containing the word issue:
“The issue is privacy. Why is the decision by a woman to sleep with a man she has just met in a bar a private one, and the decision to sleep with the same man for $100 subject to criminal penalties?”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“Because of these convictions, I made a personal decision in the 1964 Presidential campaign to make education a fundamental issue and to put it high on the nation’s agenda. I proposed to act on my belief that regardless of a family’s financial condition, education should be available to every child in the United States—as much education as he could absorb.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“The reason child care is such a loaded issue is that when we talk about it, we are always tacitly talking about motherhood. And when we’re talking about motherhood we’re always tacitly assuming that child care must be a very dim second to full-time mother care.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
