: 07, 1994

Christian the 3rd dies from gangrene, boils and bad teeth on new years night between 1558 and 1559. It all happens at Koldinhus, where Piet van Deurs now tells the story of the past king, who was in close written contact with Luther and the learned in Wittenberg. We hear of the kings significance for the history of Denmark, as well as of his dramatic life.
