  lese majesty. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
Lese majesty seems to have been considered originally as a violation of the fundamental laws of the Roman state, a crime against the Roman people.
In most modern states the specific crime of lese majesty is confounded with, and included in, the crime of treason.
While in some modern countries verbal or written attacks on the form of government, the head of the state, or public officials are made crimes analogous to lese majesty, in countries such as the United States that recognize the right to freedom of speech, the concept of lese majesty is severely restricted.

 Majesty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This was crucially defined by the existence of a specific crime, called laesa maiestatis, literally "Violated Majesty" (in English law Lese majesty, via the French Lèse-majesté), consisting of the violation of this supreme status.
In the case of Emperors and Empresses, the style "His (or Her) Imperial Majesty" is used instead, where there may be several monarchs (Kings or Queens) that are considered to be under the jurisdiction of the Emperor/Empress.
Majesty is a Progressive metal band formed in 1986 by guitarist John Petrucci, bassist John Myung, drummer Mike Portnoy, keyboardist Kevin Moore, and vocalist Chris Collins.

 The Korat Post
The move comes after His Majesty's 5 December 2005 78th birthday speech in which His Majesty surprised - and gratified - the nation and foreign observers by saying that it was wrong to sue others for their opinions or for reporting news.
The letter was seen widely as a blatant attempt by the Thai prime minister to muzzle the press on the one hand, a continuing favorite project of his, and on the other, to punish anyone daring to air comments critical of him.
Reporters also stated that the Yasothon court indicated that the matter of issuing an arrest warrant should wait until the court had made a determination regarding whether it was appropriate or not to issue the warrant requested by the police, as witnesses and statements had to be analyzed and evaluated first.

 Christology as Law in John 5:17-23: - Page 2
If the accusation in John 5 is construed as a charge of lese-majesty, then the peoples' public grant of majesty and authority to God is the basis for honor of the Sabbath; it is reason to prosecute one who appears to undo this authority.
To lessen Jesus' majesty is to fail to honor him as God (5:23).
Those who will not submit to the divine authority of the exalted son are judged, reversing the aforementioned charge of lese majesty: Jesus who, in the narrative, the Judeans prosecuted (5:18) now stands as divine judge before those who lessen his majesty by their refusal to honor him just as God.

Julian Lynch’s latest recording is a cover of Tom Waits’ “Innocent When You Dream,” which in all its soaring, yet humble glory is a perfect choice for the longing young Jersey songwriter.
Lese Majesty has been JL’s project since he was a teenager, when he’d record EPs under the name with whatever crowd of friends he could gather and “release” them to kids in his class.
Like every other song he’s ever recorded, “Innocent When You Dream” was done on an eight-track, with Julian’s high, delicate voice multi-tracked eight times over during the “sad old feeling” chorus and a soft guitar plinking in the background.
