They had a difficult beginning, as theyascended the throne in 1863, immediately prior to the military defeatby Prussia and Austria in 1864. However, they eventually becamepopular with the Danish people, not least because they secured suchadvantageous marriages for their six children that already in their ownday they were known as “Europe’s parents-in-law.” Today there arenot many European royals who are not descendants of Christian IXand Queen Louise, who died in 1906 and 1898 respectively.This book is part of the Crown Series, a series of small books on theDanish monarchy and related subjects published in cooperation withthe Royal Danish Collection
