	Hannibal Sehested - LoveToKnow 1911
		He imagined, with some reason, that the proper field for the exercise of his talents was diplomacy, and he openly aspired to be minister of foreign affairs.
		His successes finally excited the envy and disapprobation of the Danish Rigsraad, especially of his rival Korfits Ulfeldt, also one of the king's sons-in-law.
		The quarrel became acute when Sehested's semi-independent administration of the finances of Norway infringed upon Ulfeldt's functions as lord treasurer of the whole realm; in November 1647 Ulfeldt carried his point, and a decree was issued that henceforth the Norwegian provincial governors should send their rents and taxes direct to Copenhagen.

	Kids.Net.Au - Encyclopedia > Christian II of Denmark
		The Rigsraads (councillors) of Denmark and Norway insisted, in the Haandfæstning or charter extorted from the king, that the crowns of both kingdoms were elective and not hereditary, providing explicitly against any transgression of the charter by the king, and expressly reserving to themselves a free choice of Christian’s successor after his death.
		Sture was mortally wounded at the battle of Börgerund[?], on January 19, and the Danish army, unopposed, was approaching Upsala, where the members of the Swedish Riksnid had already assembled.
		Sture’s widow, Dame Christina Gyllenstjerna, still held out stoutly at Stockholm, and the peasantry of central Sweden, roused by her patriotism, flew to arms, defeated the Danish invaders at Balundsäs on March 19, and were only with the utmost difficulty finally defeated at the bloody battle of Upsala (Good Friday, April 6).

	Frederick III of Denmark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Not until July 6 did Frederick III receive the homage of his subjects, and only after he had signed a Haandfæstning or charter, by which the already diminished royal prerogative was still further curtailed.
		It had been doubtful at first whether he would be allowed to inherit his ancestral throne at all, but Frederick removed the last scruples of the Rigsraad by unhesitatingly accepting the conditions imposed upon him.
		In the beginning of May, the still pending negotiations with that power were broken off, and on June 1 Frederick signed the manifesto justifying a war, which was never formally declared.

	Christian III - LoveToKnow 1911
		On his return he found that his father had been elected king of Denmark in the place of Christian II., and the young prince's first public service was the reduction of Copenhagen, which stood firm for the fugitive Christian II.
		He made no secret of his Lutheran views, and his outspokenness brought him into collision, not only with the Catholic Rigsraad, but also with his cautious and temporizing father.
		At his own court at Schleswig he did his best to introduce the Reformation, despite the opposition of the bishops.

	Denmark
		In 1459, when the childless prince of Schleswig-Holstein died, the nobility there and the Danish King came to an agreement "to ensure the countries would never be divided".
		1588-1648AD: prosperous Christian IV Between 1536-1660, Denmark was basically an aristocratic government, which was a constitutional form of government in that the king was formally elected by the estates of the realm, in practice by the nobles in the Rigsraad, which, however, always elected the king's oldest son.
		The king, in turn, had to sign a constitutional charter which divided the power between the Crown and the Rigsraad.

	CMH5
		Oligarchical rule, however, still appeared to flourish ; and in Denmark, as in Sweden, the Rigsraad, or permanent Council, was an organ of the nobility.
		By inducing the Bishops and citizens to lay down their privileges, on condition that the nobles and university did the same, they confronted the Rigsraad and nobles as a solid Opposition, which advanced a far-reaching claim of equality before the law.
		The Charter, by the grant of which according to custom Frederick had purchased the dwindling remnants of royal power, was now surrendered to him in return for a mere promise to rule as a Christian king to the satisfaction of every Estate.

	THE ELECTION OF REPRESENTATIVES
		Lytton says, "the question, ‘Will it work?’ can be eliminated, the more important question, ‘What will be the result of its working?’ will be entitled to increased attention." With a rare appreciation of the essential elements of the scheme, and of their bearing under different political conditions, Mr.
		Lytton explains the extent to which it was capable of application in the election of the Rigsraad.
		Of the eighty members which composed that body twenty were nominated by the Crown for twelve years, and the remaining sixty were elected for eight years; thirty being chosen indirectly by the provincial assemblies, and thirty directly by the people.

	Public and Republic
		Lord John Russell's Reform Bill of 1854 contained a plan of minority representation by the limited vote.
		In 1855 the Danish Kingdom used the idea of the preferential vote for the election of members to the Rigsraad after a plan worked out by Andrae.
		But the book which finally touched off the dynamism of a movement was Thomas Hare's On the Election of Representatives, Parliamentary and Municipal (1859) as it was popularized by John Stuart Mill.

	Slavery Debate in Congress
		The probabilities now are that there will be no war.
		Denmark, according to the latest reports, is anxious to avert hostilities, and only demands a sufficient delay to assemble the Rigsraad, and promises with its concurrence to withdraw the November Constitution, so obnoxious to the German States, and to fulfill the engagements entered into toward Germany in 1851 and 1852.
		A month will be needed for the convocation of the Rigsraad, and it is probable that the delay will be granted, and that no Austrian or Prussian troops will cross the Eider.
