Christian VII was King of Denmark-Norway from 1766 until 1808, although we was unable to rule because of mental health problems. He acceded to the throne when he was just sixteen, and his accession was followed by a few years of scandal and drama at the royal court. The physician J.F. Struensee took complete control of Christian VII at the start of his reign while at the same time beginning an affair with Queen Caroline Mathilde. Struensee was executed in 1772, and the King subsequently had to accept being controlled by members of his own family - first by Dowager Queen Juliane Marie and Hereditary Prince Frederik, and then by Christian VII's own son, Crown Prince Frederik (VI).

This book is part of the Crown Series, a series of small books on the Danish monarchy and related subjects published in cooperation with the Royal Danish Collection.
