Description

Photo of Christian IX, King of Denmark (1863-1906).

Born on the 8 of April 1818. Parents: Duke Wilhelm of Schlesvig-Holstein-Sønderborg-Glücksborg and Prinsesse Louise of Hessen-Kassel. King on the 15 of November 1863 upon the death of King Frederik VII.

Married on the 26 May 1842 to Louise, Princess of Hesse. Children: Frederik VIII, Alexandra, Vilhelm (Georgios I of Greece), Dagmar, Thyra, Valdemar.

Since the previous king, Frederik VII, had no children, an heir had to be appointed. Christian was chosen, because he was married to Christian VIII's niece, and he was also a descendant in the male line to some of the early Kings from the House of Oldenburg. He died on the 29 of January 1906, and was succeeded by his son, Frederik VIII.
