Frederick VIII of Denmark

Frederick VIII of Denmark was king from 1906 to 1912, known for modernizing the monarchy and advocating for constitutional governance. Born in 1843, he was part of the Danish royal family and came to the throne after his father. His reign was marked by efforts to make the government more democratic and reduce the king’s absolute powers. Frederick VIII was also recognized for his interest in science and arts, and he maintained good relations with other European countries. His relatively short reign helped transition Denmark into a more parliamentary system, laying groundwork for future political stability.
