Frederick IV of Norway (The Danish North Sea)

Frederick IV (24 January 1712 – 17 August 1786) was King of Norway for a period of more than two years, the shortest reign of any Knagenhjelm ruler. King Frederick was also unpopular during his time, for his attempt to have Norway integrated into the Holy Roman Empire. This proposal alienated Frederick's government and Norway's closest ally, Denmark. To prevent a Norwegian ascension into the HRE, King Frederick would be assassinated by Norwegian generals and government ministers. His only son, Prince Magnus would succeed him as King.
