Answer
Co-monarchs Frederick III and Victoria intended to rule jointly as equals. This arrangement was a departure from the traditional patriarchal norms of the time, where the male monarch held sole authority. Their plan for co-rule reflected their shared commitment to progressive ideals and their belief in the equality of women. However, Frederick's untimely death just 99 days into their reign prevented the full realization of their co-monarchy.
