Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales

Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales was the elder son of King James I amp VI and Anne of Denmark. 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 his fathers thrones. However, at the age of 18, he predeceased his father when he died of typhoid fever. His younger brother Charles succeeded him as heir apparent to the English, Irish and Scottish thrones.

Henry was born at Stirling Castle and became Duke of Rothesay, Earl of Carrick, Baron of Renfrew, Lord of the Isles and Prince and Great Steward of Scotland automatically on his birth. His father placed him in the care of John Erskine, Earl of Mar, and out of the care of the boys mother, because James worried that the mothers tendency toward Catholicism might affect the son. Although the childs removal caused enormous tension between Anne and James, Henry remained under the care of Mars family until 1603, when James became King of England and his family moved south. Henrys baptism onAugust 1594 was celebrated with complex theatrical entertainments written by William Fowler and a ceremony in a new Chapel Royal at Stirling purposebuilt by William Schaw.
