EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking frontispiece illustrates King Christian V of Denmark and Norway, depicted in regal attire, signing the Law of the Realm of Norway, also known as the Norwegian Law of 1688. The image, created in 1688, showcases the monarch's commitment to strengthening the legal framework of his Norwegian territories. Christian V, born in 1648, ascended to the Danish and Norwegian thrones following the death of his father, King Frederick III, in 1670. His reign, which lasted until his death in 1699, was marked by significant territorial expansion, military conquests, and the implementation of various reforms, including the Norwegian Law. The Law of the Realm of Norway was a comprehensive legal code that replaced the traditional Gulating and Frostating laws, which had been in place since the Middle Ages. The new law, which was based on Danish law, aimed to bring greater unity and consistency to the Norwegian legal system. It also reflected the centralization of power in the Danish monarchy, as the king assumed greater control over the administration of justice in Norway. The frontispiece, with its intricate details and rich symbolism, underscores the importance of the Law of the Realm of Norway in the history of Norwegian law and governance. The image of King Christian V, with his hand raised in the act of signing the document, serves as a powerful reminder of his role in shaping the legal landscape of his Norwegian kingdom. The elaborate decorative elements, including the royal insignia and the motto 'Fortuna et Labore,' emphasize the king's authority and the diligent effort that went into the creation of this significant legal code.
