Vibeke Kruse was the official mistress of King Christian IV of Denmark between 1629 and 1648. They had two children: Ulrik Christian Gyldenløve(1630–1658) and Elisabeth Sophie Gyldenløve. Christian openly acknowledged Kruse as his mistress and gave both of their children the surname Gyldenløve, a naming practice used by Danish kings to acknowledge their illegitimate children.
