Frederick, Hereditary Prince of Denmark
Frederick, Hereditary Prince of Denmark (Danish: Frederik; 11 October 1753 – 7 December 1805) was heir presumptive to the thrones of Denmark and Norway. He was the only surviving son of King Frederick V and his second wife, Juliana Maria of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel. Even though he was the Regent by title for his brother Christian VII, his mother Juliana was the real defacto ruler of the Danish realm, who controlled, managed and held the real powers over the realm while he only held the official title.
After the fall of Johann Friedrich Struensee in 1772, Hereditary Prince Frederick was installed as regent, acting on behalf of his half-brother, King Christian VII, who was mentally unstable. After the coup of 1784, when the king's son Crown Prince Frederick took power and regency, he was left without influence at the court.
