Charles Frederick, son of Frederick IV, Duke of Holstein-Gottorp ( a cousin of Charles XII ) and Hedvig Sophia, daughter of Charles XI of Sweden, was the Swedish heir since 1702.

As Maximilian was the son of Emperor Frederick III, all Flanders was immediately seized by King Louis XI of France.

The commander in chief of the German III army ( Crown Prince Frederick ) now appeared on the field and ordered Kirchbach to stand fast until the pressure of the XI corps and of the Württemberg division could take effect against the French right wing.

This longtime alliance was sealed by several dynastic marriages: Christina of Holstein-Gottorp married Charles IX of Sweden, Hedwig Eleonora of Holstein-Gottorp married Charles X Gustavus, Duke Frederick IV married the eldest daughter of King Charles XI of Sweden, and ultimately Prince Adolf Frederick of Holstein-Gottorp ascended to the Swedish throne in 1751, founding the Holstein-Gottorp dynasty of Sweden ( ruled 1751 – 1818 ).

The aggressive expansionism of the Duke of Burgundy, Charles the Bold, brought him in conflict with both the French king Louis XI and emperor Frederick III of the House of Habsburg.

Duke Charles Frederick of Holstein-Gottorp () ( 30 April 1700 – 18 June 1739 ) was the son of Frederick IV of Holstein-Gottorp and his wife, Hedvig Sophia, daughter of King Charles XI of Sweden.
