It was only at the age of 20 in 1554 that Frederik was allowed to hold his own court at [[Malmö Castle]] in [[Scania]], but under the supervision of the middle-aged lensman ('[[Fief]]-man') [[Ejler Hardenberg]], who was appointed the prince's court master. At the same time, political training began, which was put in the hands of the two driven noblemen [[Eiler Rønnow]] and Erik Rosenkrantz.<ref name=":10">''Grinder-Hansen, Poul, section 4-page 5''</ref> The years in [[Scania]], must have felt like a liberation for Frederick.<ref name=":9" /> He had finally escaped from the royal court with its tightly regulated existences and pious daily lives. Just outside the moats around [[Malmö Castle]] was the lively trading town of [[Malmö]], which offered a young man all-out experiences.<ref name=":10" />

While spending many of his youth years in [[Scania]], he became known as the "'''[[Sovereign prince|Prince]] of Scania'''" (''princeps Scaniæ'') ({{Langx|da|Fyrste af Skåne}}).<ref name=":11">{{Cite web|last=Bricka|first=Carl Frederik|title=289 (Dansk biografisk Lexikon / V.
