king of See also:Denmark and See also:Norway, was the son of See also:Frederick V., king of Denmark, and his first See also:consort Louisa, daughter of See also:George II. of See also:Great See also:Britain. He became king on his See also:father's See also:death on the 14th of See also:January 1766.

After his See also:marriage in 1766 with See also:Caroline See also:Matilda (1751–1775), daughter of Frederick, See also:prince of See also:Wales, he abandoned himself to the worst excesses. He ultimately sank into a See also:condition of See also:mental stupor, and became the obedient slave of the upstart See also:Struensee (q.v.). After the fall of Struensee (the See also:warrant for whose See also:arrest he signed with indifference), for the last six-and-twenty years of his reign, he was only nominally king. He died on the'3th of See also:March '808. In 1772 the king's marriage with Caroline Matilda, who had been seized and had confessed to criminal familiarity with Struensee, was dissolved, and the See also:queen, retaining her See also:title, passed her remaining days at See also:Celle, where she died on the 11th of May 1775.
