Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHR-CLI
CHRISTIAN V . (1646-1699), king of Denmark and Norway, the son of Frederick III. of Denmark and
Sophia
  Amelia of
Brunswick-Luneburg, was born on the '15th of April '646 at Flensberg, and ascended the throne on the 9th of
February
  '670. He was a weak despot with an exaggerated
opinion
  of his dignity and his prerogatives. Almost his first act on ascending the throne was publicly to insult his
consort
 , the amiable Charlotte Amelia of Hesse-Cassel, by introducing into
court
 , as his officially recognized mistress, Amelia Moth, a girl of sixteen, the daughter of his former tutor, whom he made countess of Samso. His personal courage and extreme affability made him highly popular among the lower orders, but he showed himself quite incapable of taking advantage permanently of the revival of. the national energy, and the extraordinary overflow of native middle-class talent, which were the immediate consequences of the revolution of 166o. Under the guidance of his
great
 
chancellor
  Griffenfeldt, Denmark seemed for a brief period to have a chance of regaining her former position as a
great
  power. But in sacrificing Griffenfeldt to the clamour of his adversaries, Christian did serious injury to the monarchy. He frittered away the resources of the kingdom in the unremunerative Swedish war of 167579, and did nothing for internal progress in the twenty years of peace which followed. He died in a
hunting
  accident on the 25th of August 1699.
See Peter Edvard Holm, Danmarks indre Historie under Enevaelden (
Copenhagen
 , 18811886); Adolf Ditleva. Jorgensen, Peter Griffenfeldt (
Copenhagen
 , 1893); Robert Nisbet Bain, Scandinavia cap. x., xi. (
Cambridge
 , 1905).
