This document, which is an act of the Union, contain regulations, according to which Denmark and Norway were to remain – on an equal rights – in personal union. Handfastning issued in 1536, changed Norway into a D anish province. As a result the Norwegian statehood was abolished and the rules of Bergen Treaty were broken. According to the author opninion, the Union roules issued in 1450, could not be replaced by unilateral act of the King, as the handfastning was. The King Christian III actions were inconsistent with the binding law.</p> ER -
