Charles X Gustav of Sweden
In the Middle Ages Utterslev was a large country estate comprising the villages of Serridslev, Solbjerg, Vanløse, Vigerslev, Valby, Brønshøj and Emdrup. The village of Utterslev has existed since the 14th century when it consisted of houses and farm buildings around the village pond. In the Dano-Swedish War of 1657, King Charles X Gustav of Sweden established his headquarters in Utterslev. The village lost its status as such in 1784.
