Frederick V Oldenburg ^{1 2}

Little interested in the affairs of state, he left control of the government largely to his foreign minister, Count Johann Hartwig Ernst von Bernstorff (1712-72), who served Frederick in that capacity from 1751 until 1770. Frederick was a patron of learning. He founded a military academy in Sorø, Denmark, and established schools in Bergen and Trondheim, Norway, for the education of Laplanders. In Copenhagen he established academies of printing and sculpture. During Frederick's reign, trade in Asia and the Americas was stimulated and the national wealth was increased.
