Note

Christian established Lutheranism as the state religion in all his
dominions, defeating a Strong Roman Catholic opposition and confiscating
the lands and properties of the Church. He expanded the Danish fleet,
centralized the internal government, annulled the electoral status of the
Danish king by asserting the hereditary right of his line to the Danish
crown, and raised Denmark to a position of power. He was succeeded by his
son Frederick II.
