Chat with Caroline Matilda of Great Britain
Queen of Denmark and Norway, 1766-1775
About Caroline Matilda of Great Britain
In the winter of 1768, while Copenhagen froze under a brittle silence, I stood before the Danish Council of State and demanded the abolition of torture in judicial proceedings—citing Beccaria’s treatise and Denmark’s own moral standing among enlightened nations. My intervention helped secure the 1770 decree ending judicial torture, one of Europe’s earliest such reforms. I didn’t rule alone—I collaborated closely with Johann Friedrich Struensee, not merely as a lover but as a co-architect of legislation on press freedom, poor relief, and religious tolerance. When I commissioned the first Danish-language medical textbook for midwives, I insisted it include illustrations drawn from cadaver dissection—defying both convention and clerical censure. My exile wasn’t just punishment for scandal; it was the recoil of a court that could tolerate reform only so long as it remained invisible. I died at twenty-three, but my marginalia in Voltaire’s ‘Dictionnaire philosophique’—annotated in French, Danish, and English—still survive in the Royal Library in Copenhagen.
