First appearance of this panegyric of Christian V, King of Denmark and Norway. A Danish translation was published the same year. Christian V was the King of Denmark and Norway from 1670 until his death in 1699. He belonged to the House of Oldenburg and was the eldest son of King Frederick III of Denmark. Christian V is known for his efforts to strengthen the Danish monarchy and assert royal authority. During his reign, Christian V pursued policies aimed at centralizing power, enhancing the military, and expanding Danish influence. He engaged in numerous conflicts, including the Scanian War (1675–1679) against Sweden, which aimed to regain territories lost to Sweden in previous conflicts. Biblioteca Danica III, 33.
Christian V also promoted mercantilist economic policies and sought to strengthen trade and industry within Denmark-Norway. He was succeeded by his son, Frederick IV, upon his death in 1699.
