Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales (died 1612)

Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales,, was the eldest son and heir apparent of King James VI and I and Queen Anne. His name derives from his grandfathers: Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley; and Frederick II of Denmark. Prince Henry was widely seen as a bright and promising heir to the English, Irish, and Scottish thrones. However, at the age of 18, he predeceased his father, dying of typhoid fever. His younger brother, the future Charles I, succeeded him as heir apparent to the thrones.
