Описание: Christian VI ruled Denmark-Norway from 1730 until his death in 1746. As King he was enthusiastic about construction projects; he built the first Christiansborg Palace, Hirschholm Palace, and the Hermitage Palace. As an adherent of the Pietist religious movement, he believed it was sinful to enjoy oneself, and life at his court was reminiscent of life in a monastery. He took a number of measures to combat a long-lasting economic slump, one of which was the introduction of the hated system of adscription known as the stavnsb nd. As the first Danish absolute monarch to do so, he managed to avoid war throughout his entire reign. This book is part of the Crown Series, a series of small books on the Danish monarchy and related subjects published in cooperation with the Royal Danish Collection.

Описание: Christian VII was King of Denmark-Norway from 1766 until 1808. He was supposed to be King, in any event, but because of his mentalhealth problems he was in fact unable to rule. He acceded to the throne when he was not quite seventeen years old, and his accession was followed by a few years of major scandals and dramas at the court. To begin with, the physician J. F. Struensee took complete control of Christian VII, and at the same time Struensee began an affair with Queen Caroline Mathilde. Struensee was executed in 1772, and the King subsequently had to accept being controlled by members of his own family--first by Dowager Queen Juliane Marie and Hereditary Prince Frederik and then by Christian VII's own son, Crown Prince Frederik (VI). This book is part of the Crown Series, a series of small books on the Danish monarchy and related subjects published in cooperation with the Royal Danish Collection.

Описание: Frederik V reigned over Denmark-Norway from 1746 until his death in 1766. For the most part he was a ruler in name only, however, because already as a young man the King had developed a pattern of alcohol abuse that rendered him unable to administer his power in an independent fashion. He therefore had to transfer power to competent ministers and in particular to his High Court Marshal, Adam Gottlob Moltke, who functioned as the real head of state throughout Frederik V's entire reign. The kingdom experienced a general economic upswing during this period, and the court came to be characterized by elegant splendour, while trade and industry benefitted from Denmark-Norway's policy of neutrality toward warring parties. Moltke organized the Construction of the palace quarter of Amalienborg and Frederiksstaden in honour of the King.
