Hello asked:
Appearantly there were a lot of kings in Denmark back in the day, so I don’t know how to go about the search. He would be my great-grandfathers grand father. Is there a link to Denmark Kings or a book of Denmark Kings ? Any help appreciated.

I would suggest a trip to a good research library or local university. It’s a specialized area of research and while there may be bits and pieces on the internet, the real bulk of information will be shelved in Reference sections at larger libraries.

Could this POSSIBLY be who you meant??
Albert Frederick, Duke of Prussia
(If so, see the article about him at ). This is the closest name and area I could find, after seeing no Danish king had the name you want.
Prussia was a historical region in Central Europe extending from the south-eastern coast of the Baltic Sea to the Masurian Lake District. It is now divided between Poland, Russia, and Lithuania. The former German state of Prussia derived its name from the region. The Vikings started to penetrate into Eastern Europe in the 7th and 8th centuries.
At the end of the Viking Age, the son of Danish king Harald Bluetooth and Canute the Great launched several expeditions against the Prussians, which resulted in far-spread destruction of many areas in Prussia including the destruction of Truso and Kaup, the largest trade centers of the Prussians. They failed to establish a firm foothold in Prussia, however.
