Encyclopedia Article
Christian III (1503-1559), king of Denmark and Norway (1534-1559), the son of Frederick I. 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.
