Christian VIII 1786-1848, king of Denmark (1839-48), nephew of Christian VII; successor of Frederick VI. As governor and king (May-Oct., 1814) of Norway he accepted a liberal Norwegian constitution that is still in use with some modifications. His reign brought prosperity to Denmark. The nature of Danish rule in the duchies of Schleswig-Holstein became a prominent issue in 1846. His son Frederick VII succeeded him.
