In 1772, Denmark's Queen Caroline Mathilde was arrested and taken to Kronborg – the culmination of one of the most dramatic love scandals in Danish history. She was accused of adultery with the king's royal physician, Struensee, and while he was sentenced to death and executed, Caroline Mathilde was confined to the cold, empty Kronborg. After several months of uncertainty, Caroline Mathilde was sent into exile in Celle in Northern Germany and was never allowed to see her children again. Just three years later, she died of scarlet fever – at only 23 years old.
