The King's Law (Danish: Kongeloven) or Lex Regia (Latin: Law of The King) (also called the Danish Royal Law of 1665) was the absolutist constitution of Denmark and Norway from 1665 until 1849 and 1814, respectively. It established complete hereditary (agnatic-cognatic primogeniture) and absolute monarchy and formalized the king's absolute power, and is regarded the most sovereign form of all the European expressions of absolutism. Danish professor in legal history of the University of Copenhagen, Jens Chr. V. Johansen, asserts that with Europe's least circumscribed form of absolutism, Denmark "may be considered the most absolute of all the absolute European monarchies". It is the only formal constitution of any absolute monarchy, and has therefore been the subject of considerable historica

dbo:abstract
  • Das Königsgesetz (dänisch Kongeloven) wurde 1665 in Dänemark und Norwegen nach dem Verlust der schonischen Provinzen im Zweiten Nordischen Krieg verabschiedet. Das Königsgesetz baute auf das Souveränitätsgesetz des Jahres 1661, das Dänemark-Norwegen zum einzigen Land in Europa mit in der Verfassung verankertem Absolutismus machte. Konkrete Maßnahmen des Souveränitätsgesetzes und des späteren Königsgesetzes waren die Entmachtung der Stände, die Rückführung der Wahlmonarchie in die ursprüngliche Erbmonarchie und die Einführung der weiblichen Erbfolge.Das Gesetz wurde von dem dänischen Staatsmann Peder Schumacher Griffenfeld 1661 ursprünglich in lateinischer Sprache verfasst, aber erst 1665 verkündet. Das Kongelov blieb bis zur Verkündung der ersten dänischen Verfassung durch König Friedrich VII. im Jahr 1849 in Kraft; zwei Paragraphen betreffend das Königshaus gelten bis heute. (de)

Danish professor in legal history of the University of Copenhagen, Jens Chr. V. Johansen, asserts that with Europe's least circumscribed form of absolutism, Denmark "may be considered the most absolute of all the absolute European monarchies". It is the only formal constitution of any absolute monarchy, and has therefore been the subject of considerable historical and academic attention. The King's Law comprises 40 articles and is divided into seven main chapters. Articles 1 to 7 determine the royal absolute power, and the following articles contain rules on the king's authority and guardianship, on the king's accession and anointment, on the indivisibility of the kingdoms, on princes and princesses, on the king's duty to maintain absolute monarchy, and on the succession. In Denmark the King's Law was replaced in 1849 by the Constitution of the Kingdom of Denmark (June constitution), although two Articles of the King's Law is still applicable; firstly Article 21, requiring the king's permission for the departure and marriage of princes and princesses. And secondly Article 25, according to it, princes and princesses of the blood can only be criminally prosecuted on the king's orders. The King's Law was read aloud during the king's coronation and anointment, but not published until 1709. Two original copies are currently accessible to the public; one at the Danish National Archives, and one at Rosenborg Castle (both in Copenhagen). The law at Rosenborg is Queen Margrethe II's private and is stored in the treasury vault among the Danish Crown Regalia. (en)
