Why we choose the name Chr X

Fist of all due to our address: 

Christian Xs Allé 116

Kongens Lyngby. 

Christian X's refers to King Chr X (1912-1947) - the grandfather of Queen Margrethe II's. In 1898 he moved to Sorgenfri Castle in Lyngby with prinsess Alexandrine. From 1912 and until his death in 1947 they lived here during the summer.

But the first royal presense in Lyngby was in 1668 when King Frederik III's build Frederiksdal Castle.

It is however neither King Chr X or King Frederik III, that was reason for the "Kongens" (Royal) Lyngby". The explanation on this name is the fact that the area around Lyngby during the middle age belonged to   Roskilde. Lyngby was an exception. It belonged to the King and supplied the Royal Copenhagen with amongst other food. From this exception the name:   "Kongens (Royal) Lyngby" arouse.

The first written confirmation of the Royal ownership is found at King Valdemars time in 1230. Kgs Lyngby remained the property of the crone until 1536.
