Frederick, Hereditary Prince of Denmark and Norway

Frederick, Hereditary Prince of Denmark and Norway

Frederick ( _da. Frederik) (October 11, 1753, Copenhagen - December 7, 1805 Copenhagen), was a Hereditary Prince of Denmark and Norway. He was the surviving son of the second marriage of King Frederick V of Denmark with Juliana Maria of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel. He is said to have been physically disabled.

Married Sophia Frederica of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, in Copenhagen, October 21, 1774. She was the Princess and Duchess of Mecklenburg-Schwerin.

His half-brother King Christian VII of Denmark having gone insane, and divorced from his wife (then exiled) Queen Caroline Mathilde, Prince Frederick was designated as Regent of Denmark in 1772, when 18 years old. His regency was mostly nominal, the power being held by his mother Queen Juliane Marie, and minister Ove Høegh-Guldberg.

He acted as regent until the coup of 1784, when Crown Prince Frederick (the future Frederick VI of Denmark), the then 16-year-old son of King Christian, took power and regency.

Prince Frederick had the following surviving children:
* Hereditary Prince Christian Frederick (1786-1848), 1814-1814 King of Norway and later, 1839-49 King of Denmark (Christian VIII). He had an only child, the future Frederick VII of Denmark (d 1863) with whom the line went extinct.
* Hereditary Prince Frederik (1792-1863), childless
* Juliana Sophie (1788-1850), married Landgrave of Hesse-Philippsthal-Barchfeld
* Louise Charlotte (1789-1864), married Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel (or Hesse-Cassel); also the maternal grandmother of Frederick VIII of Denmark, whose son Carl became Haakon VII of Norway.
