Frederick VI of Denmark
King of Denmark and Norway (1768-1839) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frederick VI of Denmark was king of Denmark from 1808 to 1839 and king of Norway from 1808 to 1814, but he started ruling before 1808 because his father was ill.[1] He was one of Napoleon's allies. He passed laws that would later let Denmark have a parliament and he was firm in abolishing corruption in all levels of government. The places he ruled are now Denmark and Norway.[2][3]
