# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born 11 October 1671 to Christian V of Denmark-Norway and Charlotte Amalie of Hesse-Kassel, Frederick grew up in a court shaped by his father's military ambitions and the uneasy balance of Scandinavian power. He ascended in 1699, taking the crowns of Denmark and Norway at a moment when the region simmered with territorial tension. For thirty-one years he navigated the currents of early eighteenth-century statecraft — alliances shifted, wars flared along the Baltic, and the northern kingdoms jockeyed for position in a Europe still reeling from Louis XIV's long shadow. He died 12 October 1730, one day after his fifty-ninth birthday, leaving the twin thrones to the next generation.
