Haakon VII (Norwegian pronunciation: [ˈhoːkɔn];[tone?] born Christian Frederik Carl Georg Valdemar Axel; 3 August 1872 – 21 September 1957) was the King of Norway from November 1905 until his death in September 1957. Haakon was originally Prince Carl of Denmark, the second son of the future Frederick VIII of Denmark and Louise of Sweden. He was educated at the Royal Danish Naval Academy and served in the Royal Danish Navy. After the 1905 dissolution of the union between Sweden and Norway, Prince Carl was offered the Norwegian crown. Following a November plebiscite, he accepted the offer and was formally elected King of Norway by the Storting. He took the Old Norse name Haakon and ascended to the throne as Haakon VII, becoming the first independent Norwegian monarch since 1387. Norway was invaded by Nazi Germany in April 1940. Haakon rejected German demands to legitimize Vidkun Quisling's puppet government and refused to abdicate after going into exile in Britain. As such, he played a pivotal role in uniting the Norwegian nation in its resistance to the invasion and the subsequent five-year-long occupation during the Second World War. He returned to Norway in June 1945 after the defeat of Germany. Haakon died at the age of 85 in September 1957, after having reigned for nearly 52 years. He was succeeded by his only son, who ascended to the throne as Olav V. I Combine Shipping on Multiple Item Orders !! Make me an Offer !!
