Margrete: Queen of the North (2021) is a 2021 Danish historical drama film, directed and co-written by Charlotte Sieling. The film is a fictionalized account of the 'False Oluf,' an impostor who in 1402 claimed to be the deceased King Olaf II/Olav IV of Denmark-Norway, son of the title character Margrete I of Denmark.
Margrete: Queen of the North (2021) had a budget of about 73 million Danish kroner. The Danish Film Institute gave 20 million DKK to the production, which is the largest single grant in production aid it has ever made.
Production was badly hit by the corona-virus pandemic, as the film crew had only managed to complete 10 days of filming in Prague before having to stop on March 12, 2020 due to the virus outbreak. In order to save the production, the producers sought an extra 8.5 million DKK from Film i Väst, the Queen Margrethe & Prince Henrik Foundation, the A.P. Møller Fund, the Carlsburg Foundation and the Augustinus Fund.
