Frederick VIII Of Denmark
Frederick VIII ( da, Christian Frederik Vilhelm Carl; 3 June 1843 – 14 May 1912) was King of Denmark from 29 January 1906 until his death in 1912. The eldest son of King Christian IX, nicknamed the ''Father-in-law of Europe'', Frederick was related to royalty throughout Europe. He was heir apparent to the Danish throne and served as crown prince for more than 42 years. During the long reign of his father, he was largely excluded from influence and political power. Upon his father's death in 1906, he acceded to the throne at the advanced age of 62.

Due to his late accession to the throne, however, Frederick's reign would last only six years, throughout which he was plagued by ill health. Early life Prince Frederick was born on 3 June 1843 in the Yellow Palace, an 18 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
