The future Christian VI was the eldest son of Frederick IV of Denmark and Louise of Mecklenburg-Güstrow and reigned 1730-1746.
Following the death of his mother in 1721 his father married Anne Sophie Reventlow whom Christian detested and placed her under house arrest after he became king.

Christian II seems to have flip flopped from Catholic to Lutheran and back to Catholic before he died.
His children were educated by their maternal aunt Mary of Hungary and given a Catholic education at her Dutch court.
