  Christian IV of Denmark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christian IV (1588–1648), king of Denmark and Norway, the son of Frederick II, king of Denmark and Norway, and Sophia of Mecklenburg, was born at Frederiksborg castle in 1577, and succeeded to the throne on the death of his father (April 4, 1588), attaining his majority on August 17, 1596.
Thus the possession of a superior sea-power enabled Denmark to tide over her worst difficulties, and in May 1629 Christian was able to conclude peace with the emperor at Lübeck, without any diminution of territory.
Four years after her death the king privately wedded a handsome young gentlewoman, Christina Munk, by whom he had twelve children — a connection which was to be disastrous to Denmark.
