Frederik IX (Christian Frederik Franz Michael Carl Valdemar Georg; 11 March 1899 – 14 January 1972) was King of Denmark from 1947 to 1972.{{cite web |url= http://www.kongernessamling.dk/amalienborg/person/frederik-9/ |title= Frederik 9 |website= kongernessamling.dk |access-date= December 1, 2019 |archive-date= 7 August 2019 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20190807174356/http://www.kongernessamling.dk/amalienborg/person/frederik-9/ |url-status= live }}

Frederik was born into the House of Glücksburg during the reign of his great-grandfather King Christian IX. He was the first child of Prince Christian of Denmark and Princess Alexandrine of Mecklenburg-Schwerin (later King Christian X and Queen Alexandrine). He became crown prince when his father succeeded as king in 1912. As a young man, he was educated at the Royal Danish Naval Academy. In 1935, he married Princess Ingrid of Sweden. They had three daughters: Margrethe, Benedikte and Anne-Marie. During Nazi Germany's occupation of Denmark, Frederik acted as regent on behalf of his father from 1942 until 1943.{{cite web|url=https://www.greekroyalfamily.gr/en/queen-anna-maria.html|title=Queen Anne-Marie|website=The Greek Royal Family|access-date=December 1, 2019|archive-date=26 December 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191226213636/https://www.greekroyalfamily.gr/en/queen-anna-maria.html|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=http://kongehuset.dk/den-kongelige-familie/hkh-prinsesse-benedikte|title=H.K.H.

Frederik became king on his father's death in April 1947. During Frederik's reign, Danish society changed rapidly, the welfare state was expanded and, as a consequence of the booming economy of the 1960s, women entered the labour market. The modernization brought new demands on the monarchy and Frederik's role as a constitutional monarch. Frederik died in 1972, and was succeeded by his eldest daughter, Margrethe II.{{cite web|url= http://kongehuset.dk/en/the-monarchy-in-denmark/the-royal-lineage|title= The Royal Lineage|website= kongehuset.dk|date= 7 April 2016|access-date= December 1, 2019|archive-date= 8 August 2019|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20190808025018/http://kongehuset.dk/en/the-monarchy-in-denmark/the-royal-lineage|url-status= live}}

Birth and family

{{House of Glücksburg (Denmark)|Frederik IX}}

Prince Frederik was born on 11 March 1899 at his parents' country residence, the Sorgenfri Palace, located on the shores of the small river Mølleåen in Kongens Lyngby north of Copenhagen on the island of Zealand in Denmark, during the reign of his great-grandfather King Christian IX.{{cite book|first1=Lone|last1=Hindø|first2=Else|last2=Boelskifte|title=Kongelig Dåb.

His mother was Alexandrine of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, the eldest daughter of Frederick Francis III, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin and Grand Duchess Anastasia Mikhailovna of Russia.{{Citation needed|date=November 2021}}

He was baptised in the Garden Room at Sorgenfri Palace on 9 April 1899 by the royal confessor Jakob Paulli. The young prince had 21 godparents: Christian IX of Denmark (his paternal great-grandfather); Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark (his paternal grandfather); the Dowager Grand Duchess Anastasia of Mecklenburg-Schwerin (his maternal grandmother); Grand Duke Michael Nikolaevich of Russia (his maternal great-grandfather); Dowager Grand Duchess Marie of Mecklenburg-Schwerin (his maternal step-great-grandmother); Prince Carl of Denmark (his paternal uncle); Princess Thyra of Denmark (his paternal aunt); Frederick Francis IV, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin (his maternal uncle); George I of Greece (his paternal great-uncle); Albert Edward, Prince of Wales (his paternal great-uncle by marriage); Ernest August, Duke of Cumberland (his paternal great-uncle by marriage); Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich of Russia (his maternal great-uncle); his first cousins once removed, Nicholas II of Russia, George, Duke of York, Prince George of Greece and Denmark and Georg Wilhelm, Hereditary Prince of Hanover; Crown Prince Constantine and Crown Princess Sophia of Greece (his first cousin once removed, and his wife); his paternal great-granduncles, Prince Johann of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg and King Oscar II of Sweden and Norway; and Crown Prince Gustaf and Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden (his first cousin twice removed and his wife).{{cite web| url=http://www.sa.dk/composite-2686| title=Prinser og Prinsesser kommer også i kirkebogen| publisher=The Danish State Archives| access-date=10 August 2011}}{{dead link|date=October 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}

Frederik's only sibling, Knud, was born one year after Frederik. The family lived in apartments in Christian VIII's Palace at Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen, in Sorgenfri Palace near the capital and in a summer residence, Marselisborg Palace in Aarhus in Jutland, which Frederik's parents had received as a wedding present from the people of Denmark in 1898. In 1914, the King also built the villa Klitgården in Skagen in Northern Jutland.{{Citation needed|date=November 2021}}

Early life

{{unreferenced section|date=November 2021}}

File:Crown Prince Denmark 5125513827 c7a710ba95 o.jpg

Christian IX died on 29 January 1906, and Frederik's grandfather Crown Prince Frederik succeeded him as King Frederik VIII. Frederik's father became crown prince, and Frederik moved up to second in line to the throne.{{citation needed|date=August 2022}}

Just six years later, on 14 May 1912, King Frederik VIII died, and Frederik's father ascended the throne as King Christian X. Frederik himself became crown prince. On 1 December 1918, as the Danish–Icelandic Act of Union recognized Iceland as a fully sovereign state in personal union with Denmark through a common monarch, Frederik also became crown prince of Iceland (where his name was officially spelled Friðrik). However, as a national referendum established the Republic of Iceland on 17 June 1944, he never succeeded as king of Iceland.{{citation needed|date=August 2022}}

Frederik was educated at the Royal Danish Naval Academy (breaking with Danish royal tradition by choosing a naval instead of an army career) and the University of Copenhagen. Before he became king, he had acquired the rank of rear admiral and he had had several senior commands on active service. He acquired several tattoos during his naval service including dragons, birds, and other traditional tattoo motifs that were popular among sailors of the time.{{Cite web |last=Barrett |first=Michael |date=6 Jan 2020 |title=The Danish king who was heavily tattooed – and how his ink was recreated |url=https://www.thelocal.dk/20200106/the-danish-king-who-was-heavily-tattooed-and-how-researchers-recreated-his-ink |access-date=19 October 2024 |website=The Local Denmark}}

In addition, with his great love of music, Frederik was an able piano player and conductor.{{cite web | url=https://www.dacapo-records.dk/en/artists/king-frederik-ix | title=Frederik IX | date=15 March 2016 | access-date=3 June 2023 | archive-date=3 June 2023 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230603064739/https://www.dacapo-records.dk/en/artists/king-frederik-ix | url-status=live }}

Marriage and issue

{{further|Wedding of Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark, and Princess Ingrid of Sweden}}

In the 1910s, Alexandrine considered the two youngest daughters of her cousin Tsar Nicholas II, Grand Duchesses Maria and Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia, as possible wives for Frederik until the execution of the Romanov family in 1918. In 1922, Frederik was engaged to Princess Olga of Greece and Denmark, his double second cousin, through King Christian IX of Denmark and the other through Frederick Francis II. They never wed.{{cite news|title=DANISH HEIR ENGAGED.; Crown Prince Will Wed Princess Olga of Greece.|url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9D05E1DA1F30EE3ABC4E53DFB5668389639EDE|access-date=13 May 2017|work=The New York Times|agency=Associated Press|date=6 March 1922}}{{cite news|title=CONSTANTINE'S NIECE NOT TO WED PRINCE; Engagement of Princess Olga and Heir to the Danish Throne Is Annuled (sic)|url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9D07EEDF1E39EF3ABC4051DFBF668389639EDE|access-date=13 May 2017|work=The New York Times|agency=Associated Press|date=28 September 1922}}

Instead, on 15 March 1935, a few days after his 36th birthday, his engagement to Princess Ingrid of Sweden (1910–2000), a daughter of Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf (later King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden) and his first wife, Princess Margaret of Connaught, was announced. They had gotten engaged in private in the beginning of February.{{cite AV media |people=Mandal, Marcus (director) |date=1999 |title=Frederik – Konge til alle tider |type=Television production |language=Danish |url=https://www.dr.dk/drtv/se/frederik-_-konge-til-alle-tider_431914 |access-date=6 April 2024 |location= |publisher=DR}} Frederik and Ingrid were related in several ways. In descent from Oscar I of Sweden and Leopold, Grand Duke of Baden, they were double third cousins. In descent from Paul I of Russia, Frederik was a fourth cousin of Ingrid's mother. They married in Stockholm Cathedral on 24 May 1935. Their wedding was one of the greatest media events of the day in Sweden in 1935, and among the wedding guests were the King and Queen of Denmark, the King and Queen of Belgium and the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Norway.{{Citation needed|date=November 2021}}

Upon their return to Denmark, the couple were given Frederik VIII's Palace at Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen as their primary residence and Gråsten Palace in Northern Schleswig as a summer residence.{{Citation needed|date=November 2021}}

Reign

{{unreferenced section|date=November 2021}}

File:Frederik IX (cropped) - Det Kongelige Bibliotek (KE062449).jpg

From 1942 until 1943, Frederik acted as regent on behalf of his father who was temporarily incapacitated after a fall from his horse in October 1942.

On 20 April 1947, Christian X died, and Frederik succeeded to the throne. He was proclaimed king from the balcony of Christiansborg Palace by Prime Minister Knud Kristensen.

Frederik IX's reign saw great change. During these years, Danish society shook off the restrictions of an agricultural society, developed a welfare state, and, as a consequence of the booming economy of the 1960s, women entered the labour market. In other words, Denmark became a modern country, which meant new demands on the monarchy.

In 1948, one year into the king's reign, the Faroe Islands obtained home rule and became a self-governing country within the Danish Realm.

=Changes to the Act of Succession=

File:Kongeparret.jpg

As King Frederik IX and Queen Ingrid had no sons, it was expected that the king's younger brother, Prince Knud, would inherit the throne, in accordance with Denmark's succession law (Royal Ordinance of 1853).

However, in 1953, an Act of Succession was passed, changing the method of succession to male-preference primogeniture (which allows daughters to succeed if there are no sons). This meant that his daughters could succeed him if he had no sons. As a consequence, his eldest daughter, Margrethe, became heir presumptive. By order of 27 March 1953 the succession to the throne was limited to the issue of King Christian X.

Death and funeral

Shortly after the King had delivered his New Year's address on 31 December 1971, he became ill with flu-like symptoms. On 1 January 1972, he received treatment for pneumonia, with his New Year levées scheduled for 5 and 6 January being cancelled. On 3 January, he suffered cardiac arrest and was rushed to the Copenhagen Municipal Hospital. After a brief period of apparent improvement, the King's condition took a negative turn on 11 January, and he died three days later, on 14 January, at 7:50 pm surrounded by his immediate family and closest friends, having been unconscious since the previous day.Jon Bloch Skipper.

Following his death, the King's coffin was transported to his home at Amalienborg Palace, where it stood until 18 January, when it was moved to the chapel at Christiansborg Palace.{{cite news |agency=Associated Press |title=Royalty and Danish Commoners Honor King Frederik at Burial |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1972/01/25/archives/royalty-and-danish-commoners-honor-king-frederik-at-burial.html |newspaper=New York Times |date=January 25, 1972 |access-date=8 February 2017 |archive-date=7 March 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180307164343/https://www.nytimes.com/1972/01/25/archives/royalty-and-danish-commoners-honor-king-frederik-at-burial.html |url-status=live }} There the King was placed on castrum doloris, a ceremony largely unchanged since introduced at the burial of Frederik III in 1670, and the last remaining royal ceremony where the Danish Crown Regalia is used. The King then lay in state for six days until his funeral, during which period the public could pay their last respects.Jon Bloch Skipper. Sømandskongen. Pp 315. Aschehoug (2005). {{ISBN|978-87-1111-789-7}}.

The funeral took place on 24 January 1972, and was split in two parts. First a brief ceremony was held in the chapel where the king had lain in state, where the Bishop of Copenhagen, Willy Westergaard Madsen, said a brief prayer, followed by a hymn, before the coffin was carried out of the chapel by members of the Royal Life Guards and placed on a gun carriage for the journey through Copenhagen to Copenhagen Central Station. The gun carriage was pulled by 48 seamen and was escorted by honor guards from the Danish Army, Air Force, and Navy, as well as honor guards from France, Sweden, United Kingdom, and the United States.{{cite news |agency= DR |title= Hans Majestæt, Kong Frederik den IX's bisættelse 1:2. |url= https://www.dr.dk/bonanza/serie/448/begravelse-kong-frederik-ix/66178/hans-majestaet-kong-frederik-den-ixs-bisaettelse-12 |date= January 24, 1972 |access-date= 14 January 2023 |archive-date= 15 January 2023 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20230115060714/https://www.dr.dk/bonanza/serie/448/begravelse-kong-frederik-ix/66178/hans-majestaet-kong-frederik-den-ixs-bisaettelse-12 |url-status= live }}

At the Copenhagen Central Station, the coffin was placed in a special railway carriage for the rail journey to Roskilde. The funeral train was pulled by two DSB class E steam engines. Once in Roskilde, the coffin was pulled through the city by a group of seamen to Roskilde Cathedral where the final ceremony took place. Previous rulers had been interred in the cathedral, but it was the King's wish to be buried outside.Roger Lundgren. Ingrid. Pp 147. People'sPress (2010). {{ISBN|978-87-7055-826-6}}.

Queen Ingrid survived her husband by 28 years. She died on 7 November 2000. Her remains were interred alongside him at the burial site outside Roskilde Cathedral.

Legacy

On 20 April 1982, a statue of King Frederik IX dressed in the uniform of an admiral was unveiled by the Copenhagen harbour on the 35th anniversary of his accession to the throne in 1947 and in the tenth year after his death.{{cite web| url=http://vejpark2.kk.dk/apps/monumenter/index.asp?lang=uk&mode=detalje&id=286| title=King Frederick IX (1899-1972)| publisher=The City of Copenhagen| access-date=10 August 2011| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070917110801/http://www.vejpark2.kk.dk/apps/monumenter/index.asp?lang=uk| archive-date=17 September 2007| df=dmy-all}}

The Crown Prince Frederik Range in Greenland was named after him when it was first mapped by Sir Martin Lindsay in 1934 during the British Trans-Greenland Expedition."French Honour For British Explorer", The Times, 12 April 1935.

Folktale

In the southern city, Sønderborg, King Frederik IX has a dish named after the king himself. The dish is called "Kong Fiddes livret" (English: King Frederik's Favorite). The name Fidde is a common diminutive nickname for people named Frederik in the southern parts of Denmark. The dish is supposedly one that was regularly served to King Frederik IX's on his birthday at Gråsten Palace.{{cite web |last1=Rørby Madsen |first1=Holger |title=Kong Fiddes livret - opskrift på en kongelig gryderet |url=https://madensverden.dk/kong-fiddes-livret/ |website=Madens Verden |date=9 February 2023 |publisher=Moderne Medier ApS |access-date=22 January 2024}} The dish consist of strips of flank steak, stirred in a creamy paprika and curry sauce, served with French fries, boiled potatoes, beetroot, boiled eggs and freshly sliced onions.
