Answer
Before Frederick VI became King of Denmark and Norway, he held the position of Crown Prince Regent. This was because his father, Christian VII, was declared mentally incompetent and unable to rule. As Crown Prince Regent, Frederick VI was responsible for the day-to-day running of the country and for making decisions on behalf of his father. He was also responsible for the military and for foreign policy.
