Frederik Harald af Skandinavien

Frederik, Crown Prince of Scandinavia (Frederik Harald af Oldenburg; 8th November 1742 - 7th September 1789) was the heir of Louisa I, the famed Empress of Scandinavia, following the death of his father in 1779. Frederik was known for his active involvement in state affairs, possessing political and governmental prowess unmatched by many of his contemporaries. An exemplary model of a courtier of the court of Louisa I, Frederik's pious and conservative disposition were well-received, and his death was seen as a national tragedy, for he was seen to be filled with great potential.
