Frederick I of Denmark, the younger son…
April 1533 CE
Frederick I of Denmark, the younger son of Christian I, had in 1532 succeeded in capturing his deposed predecessor Christian II, who had tried to make a political comeback in Norway.
As King of Norway, Frederick is most remarkable in never having visited the country.
He has never been crowned King of Norway, and therefore styles himself King of Denmark, the Vends and the Goths, elected King of Norway.
Frederick dies at the age of sixty-one on April 10, 1533, in Gottorf Castle, Schleswig, and is buried in Schleswig Cathedral.
