Friedrich Wilhelm Paul Leopold[1][2] (4 January 1785 – 17 February 1831)[1][2] was the first Duke of the Second Line of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg and founder of a line that includes the Royal Houses of Denmark, Greece, Norway, and the United Kingdom.

Early life

Friedrich Wilhelm was born in Lindenau, East Prussia to Friedrich Karl Ludwig, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Beck (20 August 1757 – 24 April 1816)[1][2] and Countess Friederike of Schlieben (28 February 1757 – 17 December 1827).[1][2] He was the third and youngest child of the couple, and the only son.[1][2] In 1804, he was sent to Denmark, where he was an officer of the Danish army during the Napoleonic Wars.

Marriage and issue

On 26 January 1810, Friedrich Wilhelm married Princess Louise Caroline of Hesse-Kassel (28 September 1789 – 13 March 1867),[1][2] a granddaughter of Frederik V of Denmark through her mother Princess Louise of Denmark. Friedrich Wilhelm and Louise Caroline had ten children:[1][2]

Later life

On 25 March 1816, Friedrich Wilhelm succeeded his father as Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Beck. On 6 July 1825, he became Duke of Glücksburg and changed his title to Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, after the elder Glücksburg line became extinct in 1779. Friedrich Wilhelm died on 17 February 1831 at Gottorp.[1][2]

His grandchildren include among others Frederick VIII of Denmark, Alexandra of Denmark, George I of Greece, and Dagmar of Denmark, and Princess Thyra of Denmark.
