Magnus of Livonia (Magnus Oldenburg, King of Livonia; 26 August 1540 Copenhagen - 18 March 1583 Pilten) was the King of Livonia, son of King Christian III of Denmark and Queen Dorothea of Saxe-Lauenburg, brother of Frederick II of Denmark. In 1560 the Livonian Order conditionally recognised his right of ownership of The Bishopric of Reval (Estland). Arensburg (Kuressaare) was granted the rights of a town in 1563 by Duke Magnus. Magnus got married with princess Maria of Russia, the only surviving daughter of Vladimir of Staritsa, in Weliki Nowgorod in April 12, 1574. His capital was Oberpahlen. In 1578 Magnus recognized the sovereignty of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
