Editing Frederick II of Denmark (section)

=== Anne Hardenberg ===
As a young man, Frederick II had desired to marry the noblewoman, [[Anne of Hardenberg|Anne Hardenberg]], who had served as a lady-in-waiting to his mother, the [[Dorothea of Saxe-Lauenburg|Dowager Queen Dorothea of Denmark]], however as she was not of princely birth, this was impossible.<ref>[http://www.guide2womenleaders.com/Governors.htm ''Anne Corfitzdatter Hardenberg of Helsingborg'' (Worldwide Guide to Women in Leadership)]</ref> There is no evidence that either of them had any interest in entering a morganatic marriage and Anne Hardenberg was married six months after Frederick, after which there is no known contact between them.
