Christian VII (1749-1808) was King of Denmark and Norway, and Duke of Schleswig and Holstein from 1766 until his death. He was dreadful towards his wife, Princess Caroline Mathilda, a sister of King George III of Great Britain, declaring that it was not fashionable to loves one's wife, and thus he pursued a young courtisan, Stovlet-Cathrine. His neglected wife drifted into an affair with Johann Friedrich Struensee, the royal physician. Following a divorce, Struensee was arrested and later executed; the warrant was signed by Christian with indifference. He suffered from various mental problems, the symptoms of which leaned towards paranoia and schizophrenia.
See 17597 for Christian VII's wife Caroline Matilda; and 17598 for Juliana Maria, who saw Christian VII restored to the throne.

A portrait of Christiane Eberhardine of Brandenburg-Bayreuth (1671-1727), dressed lavishly. She married the Duke of Saxony, who would go on to become king of Poland, aged 21. Their marriage was unhappy, as the Duke was a serial adulterer, and her dislike of him only increased after he converted to Catholicism in order to become king. In response Christiane did not attend his coronation nor did she ever set foot in Poland and thus was never crowned queen in Poland. They had one child together.
