See also:Brunswick-See also:Luneburg, was See also:born on the '15th of See also:April '646 at Flensberg, and ascended the See also:throne on the 9th of See also:February '670. He was a weak See also:despot with an exaggerated See also:opinion of his dignity and his prerogatives. Almost his first See also:act on ascending the throne was publicly to insult his See also:consort, the amiable See also:Charlotte Amelia of See also:Hesse-See also:Cassel, by introducing into See also:court, as his officially recognized See also:mistress, Amelia See also:Moth, a girl of sixteen, the daughter of his former See also:tutor, whom he made countess of Samso.

Under the guidance of his See also:great See also:chancellor See also:Griffenfeldt, Denmark seemed for a brief See also:period to have a See also:chance of regaining her former position as a great See also:power.

He died in a See also:hunting See also:accident on the 25th of See also:August 1699.
