Some Danish grenadiers would have worn broad brimmed hats at this time. In Ireland Danish grenadiers in the Williamite campaign of 1689-91 did so.
What is your source for this statement?
For the first or second sentence? For the first one there is the image I linked to, which I understand relates to the period of the Scanian war. I have the ebook Danish uniforms 1699-1720. It says that in 1686 (Page 7) all Danish grenadiers wore broad brimmed hats.
Regarding the Williamite campaign, I remember reading somewhere that in Ireland, they wore broad brimmed hats. I will try to find the source on this.
Of course that doesnt mean that all Danish grenadiers in the Nine Years War or Scanian war wore brought brimmed hats. But the book "Danish uniforms 1699-1720) says that in 1686 this was the case. It also states that the grenadiers of the Fodgarden wore a broad brimmed hat with gold lace in 1686.
