Frederik Paludan-Müller

Frederik Paludan-Müller was born in Kerteminde, on the island of Funen, in 1809, the third son of a pastor who would become a bishop. His mother, afflicted with madness, died when he was eleven. He followed his father to Odense, entered the University of Copenhagen in 1828, obtained in 1835 a law degree that he would never use, and shone in the salons. Nursed during a serious illness in 1837 by Charite Borch, eight years his senior, he married her the following year and left for two years in Paris, Naples and Rome. He then lived in Copenhagen, spent his summers at Fredensborg and died in 1876.
