At what time in history did Copenhagen become the capital of Denmark?
Nobody knows. It has traditionally been said that it was founded by the bishop Absalon in 1167, but that is wrong. He build a fortress/castle and seriously beefed up the fortifications, but the town had been there long before he was even born.
Recent excavations in connection with metro construction have revealed houses, wells and modest ramparts from the early 11th century, and due to the area involved they do probably not even represent the very beginning of the settlement.

What are the myths legends and superstitions of Denmark?
This doesn't completely answer your question, but here's one example:
Nibelungen: Originated in Germany, Norway, and Denmark. Their element is earth. These Teutonic dwarf faeries live in a hidden subterranean crystal palace. They come to woodlands when the mood strikes, and this is where humans have seen them. They are tricksters and quite capricious, with a temperament most resembling that of the Irish Leprechaun. The Nibelungen's gold is guarded when they are not around by a dragon named Fafnir. Humans can obtain the gold only in the astral world; it will not travel back to the physical realm. Those who try to take it lose everything they have gained spiritually. These faeries are goldsmiths who make golden rings with magickal properties. They are best known for their rings of fertility which many a barren human has sought but failed to obtain. The Nibelungen seem to take great delight in the failings of humans who seek their magick and their world, and their merry laughter is often heard just as some hapless human falls, trips, or loses the prize they believe they have just won.
