He is not fondly remembered in Norway due to his attempts to subordinate the farmers there in a similar level of service to that which was common in Denmark of the period.

[1] Frederik Krag began his government service by serving from 1675 through 1678 with the Danish delegation in Paris and later in Nijmegen for the negotiations among the European powers that aimed to put an end to the constant warfare that had ravaged the continent for years.

[2]Frederik Krag was named a Knight of the Order of the Dannebrog, in 1708, and in 1712 he was elevated to counselor of the Danish realm (geheimeråd).

He was first married in 1683 to Baroness Hedevig Eleonore Juell (1662–1686), the daughter of Baron Jens Juel (1631–1700) and Vibeke Ottesdatter Skeel.

This marriage brought the manor Stensballegård at Vær Sogn in Horsens municipality into the Krag family, where it remained until 1927.
