There is a couple of marriages missing in the history files.

The Danish king Valdemar II “Sejr” (character number 201501) is not listed as married to his first wife Markéta Premyslid (character number 96037 she is Bohemian), who he married in 1205.

Their son Valdemar the Young is also not in the character files. He was born in 1209 Duke of Schleswig 1209-1216, crowned junior king of Denmark in 1218. He married Eleanor of Portugal in 24 June 1229, she is in the history files as Leonor de Bourgogne (character number 142051), her files even has a reference to Valdemar the Young. Valdemar the Young was the heir to Valdemar II, but he died before his farther at 28 November 1231. Since he was the heir to Denmark as long as he was alive, I think it is important that he is in the game.

Valdemar II is also not listed as married to his second wife Berengária of Portugal (character number 91102) who he married in 1214, again her entry has a reference to Valdemar II. She is likewise not listed as the mother to their four children: Erik “plogpenning” (character number 45150), Abel (character number 451524), Christoffer I (character number 451513), Sophie (character number 7687).

Valdemar's second bastard Niels, is also missing. His year of birth is not known, but he became count of Halland in 1216 and married Oda of Schwerin (character number 33268 she is German) in 1217. They were survived by a son also named Neils.

Lastly Valdemar II first bastard Knud is missing his mother, Helene Guttormsdatter (character number 202045 she is Norwegian).

I hope this is helpful to achieve more historical accuracy.

I the link to the relevant Wikipedia pages, notice that the page for Dagmar of Bohemia is for Markéta Premyslid since she changed her name after coming to Denmark.
