During the ensuing See also:interregnum he powerfully contributed, at the See also:head of the nobles of Funen and See also:Jutland, to the See also:election of See also:Christian III. (1533-1559), but in the course of the " See also:Count's See also:War " he was taken prisoner by Count See also:Christopher, the See also:Catholic See also:candidate for the See also:throne, and forced to do him See also:homage.

This he was able to do, as a moderate Lutheran, whose calmness and See also:common sense contrasted advantageously with the unbridled violence of his contemporaries. As the first chancellor of the reconstructed university of Copenhagen, Friis took the keenest See also:interest in spiritual and scientific matters, and was the first donor of a See also:legacy to the institution. He also enjoyed the society of learned men, especially of " those who could talk with him concerning ancient monuments and their history." He encouraged Hans Svaning to See also:complete Saxo's history of See also:Denmark, and Anders Vedel to translate Saxo into Danish. His generosity to poor students was well known; but he could afford to be liberal, as his See also:share of spoliated Church property had made him one of the wealthiest men in Denmark. Under King Frederick II. (1559—1588), who understood but little of See also:state affairs, Friis was well-nigh omnipotent. He was largely responsible for the Scandinavian Seven Years' War (1562—70), which did so much to exacerbate the relations between Denmark and See also:Sweden. Friis died on the 5th of See also:December 1570, a few days before the peace of See also:Stettin, which put an end to the exhausting and unnecessary struggle.
