He was the last king of Denmark–Norway. From 1784 until his accession, he served as regent during his father's mental illness and was referred to as the \"Crown Prince Regent\". For his motto he chose God and the just cause. Instead of the customary Latin, he used Danish, which established a precedent for later Danish kings who used Danish as well.","summary_more":[],"facts":[{"key":"born","label":"Born","values":[{"text":"28 January 1768","date":"1768-01-28"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q155002#P569"}},{"key":"birthplace","label":"Place of birth","values":[{"text":"Christiansborg Palace","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q940733"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q155002#P19"}},{"key":"died","label":"Died","values":[{"text":"3 December 1839","date":"1839-12-03"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q155002#P570"}},{"key":"deathplace","label":"Place of death","values":[{"text":"Amalienborg","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q211053"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q155002#P20"}},{"key":"citizenship","label":"Citizenship","values":[{"text":"Kingdom of Denmark","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q756617"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q155002#P27"}},{"key":"occupation","label":"Occupation","values":[{"text":"monarch","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q155002#P106"}},{"key":"spouse","label":"Spouse","values":[{"text":"Marie of Hesse-Kassel","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q57635","start":"1790-07-31"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q155002#P26"}},{"key":"positions","label":"Positions held","values":[{"text":"Monarch of Denmark (13 March 1808 – 3 December 1839)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18341329","start":"1808-03-13","end":"1839-12-03"},{"text":"Monarch of Norway (1808–1814)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1294765","start":"1808-03-13","end":"1814"},{"text":"Duke of Schleswig","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q63375991"},{"text":"Duke of Holstein","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q63871039"},{"text":"Duke of Lauenburg","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5313049"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q155002#P39"}},{"key":"awards","label":"Awards","values":[{"text":"Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q10855226"},{"text":"Knight of the Order of the Holy Spirit","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q11599352"},{"text":"Knight of the Order of Saint Michael","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q11609173"},{"text":"Knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15117228"},{"text":"Order of St. Andrew","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1126563"},{"text":"Grand Cross of the Sash of the Three Orders","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q66580078"},{"text":"Order of Saint Stephen of Hungary","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q285071"},{"text":"Knight of the Order of the Elephant","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q56861795","date":"1768"},{"text":"Knight Grand Commander of the Order of the Dannebrog","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q60649416","date":"1808"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q155002#P166"}}],"office":null,"sections":[],"cited":[],"cited_from":null,"videos":[],"last_reviewed":null,"organizations":[],"same_as":["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_VI_of_Denmark","https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q155002"],"faq":[{"q":"When was Frederick VI of Denmark born?","a":"Frederick VI of Denmark was born on 28 January 1768 in Christiansborg Palace."},{"q":"What positions has Frederick VI of Denmark held?","a":"Positions held by Frederick VI of Denmark include: Monarch of Denmark (1808–1839);
