What happens
In 1766 Christian VII was crowned king of Denmark, succeeding his father Frederik V. Christian was unfortunately quite insane. His mental instability has been attributed to a brutal childhood governor and to morally corrupt court pages. After his 1766 marriage to Caroline Matilda, the daughter of Frederick, Prince of Wales, he gave himself up to debauchery. During his entire reign the country was run by others. First up was the foreign minister J.H.E. Bernstorff, a devious and competent man who managed to get Catherine II of Russia to renounce some of her claims to parts of the duchy of Holstein. However, Bernstorff's position grew increasingly precarious, and he was dismissed from office on Sep. 15, 1770.
