King's Law
The King's Law (Kongeloven, or Lex Regia) was the fundamental law of absolute monarchy in Denmark-Norway, signed by King Frederick III in 1665 and published in 1709. It declared the king above all human laws and set out the succession, making it the only written constitution of an absolute monarchy in Europe. It remained in force in Denmark until the constitution of 1849.
