Nothing is known of her childhood. </p><p>Sophie Amalie married Prince Frederick in Castle <a href="/wiki/Gl%C3%BCcksburg" title="Glücksburg">Glücksburg</a> on 1 October 1643. The marriage was arranged in 1640, as it was considered suitable for the current situation of the groom: he was, at that point, Prince-bishop of Bremen and not heir to the throne, and was not expected to succeed to the throne. It is believed to be a political match, though the exact purpose of it is unknown. They had eight children, including King <a href="/wiki/Christian_V_of_Denmark" title="Christian V of Denmark">Christian V of Denmark</a> and <a href="/wiki/Ulrike_Eleonora_of_Denmark" class="mw-redirect" title="Ulrike Eleonora of Denmark">Ulrike Eleonora of Denmark</a> who married King <a href="/wiki/Charles_XI_of_Sweden" title="Charles XI of Sweden">Charles XI of Sweden</a>. </p><p>The couple settled in Bremen.

In 1647, Frederick was elected heir to the Danish throne, and the following year, she followed him to Denmark. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Queen">Queen</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Sophie_Amalie_of_Brunswick-Calenberg&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Queen"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Sophie_amalieof_brunswick_queen_of_denmark.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fd/Sophie_amalieof_brunswick_queen_of_denmark.jpg/180px-Sophie_amalieof_brunswick_queen_of_denmark.jpg" decoding="async" width="180" height="297" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fd/Sophie_amalieof_brunswick_queen_of_denmark.jpg/270px-Sophie_amalieof_brunswick_queen_of_denmark.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fd/Sophie_amalieof_brunswick_queen_of_denmark.jpg/360px-Sophie_amalieof_brunswick_queen_of_denmark.jpg 2x" data-file-width="697" data-file-height="1150" /></a><figcaption>Portrait of Sophie Amalie as queen by an unidentified artist, c. 17th century</figcaption></figure> <p>In 1648, Frederick and Sophie Amalie became king and queen of Denmark and Norway. </p><p>As her husband was introverted, she became the centre of a sumptuous court life, with exclusive luxury items and grand parties, which shed glory on the royal power. Queen Sophie Amalie made a pioneer cultural act in relation to the court parties by replacing the old medieval court entertainments with opera and ballet, which was thus introduced in Denmark by her at the court festivities. She enjoyed fashion, parties and theatre, arranged <a href="/wiki/Masquerade_ball" title="Masquerade ball">masquerades</a> and made the French taste fashionable in Denmark. She remodeled the court after a French and German pattern. In 1649, a large order of items arrived for the new court life she arranged, followed also by new staff and new positions. She hired a German chapel master, Kaspar Förster, a French violin orchestra, a French ballet master, D. de Pilloy, and a French court singer and dancer, <a href="/wiki/Anne_Chabanceau_de_La_Barre" title="Anne Chabanceau de La Barre">Anne Chabanceau de La Barre</a>, and a French theatre company was engaged to perform French theater. Sophie Amalie did not understand the Danish language, but spoke German and French, took lessons in singing and dancing by instructors from France and Italy, was dressed by French maids in French fashion, conversed with her children in French and had a French chaplain, and as the first queen of Denmark took a French motto: „En Dieu mon espérance".<sup id="cite_ref-Jorgensen,_Ellen_&_Skovgaard,_Johanne_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Jorgensen,_Ellen_&_Skovgaard,_Johanne-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Ballet, masquerades and theatre performances were performed, and she and her children participated in ballets and amateur theatre with the nobility; in 1655, she performed five different parts in a ballet at the same occasion. She was interested in literature and composed a library of French, German and Italian writers. She was noted to have great disputes with her Catholic brother John Frederick, in which her husband was called to participate in the debate. </p><p>Sophie Amalie was described as a charming beauty with entertaining wit and artistic taste, also in private correspondence not intended for her to see.
