Jacob was therefore punished under martial law with running the gauntlet sixteen times and two years’ imprisonment. They denied pedication and it was ruled that accordingly they could not be punished according to the statute in the Lawbook, thus confirming that pedication was the only statutory homosexual crime. The first involved Jacob, married soldier, and Peter Jessen, an apprentice, who confessed to fellatio as well as masturbation in Åbenrå, Schleswig in 1742. There were only two known cases of anyone getting into trouble for any homosexual behaviour, both involving a man with a boy. Remarkably, however, between then and 1820, not a single person is known to have been prosecuted or punished for sodomy between humans, though continued fairly frequent burnings alive of man and animal for bestiality together show that the law was no dead letter, and the explanation given for thus punishing them, that it was “according to the Law of God” should have applied as much to sodomy between people.

However, it was not until 1683 that Denmark got its first secular or statutory prohibition of sodomy, when The Danish Lawbook, a compilation of old laws issued that year, proclaimed that “Intercourse which is against nature shall be punished with death by burning.” It remained a crime in theory, as shown by continued burnings at the stake for bestiality, considered a form of sodomy, and possibly the burning of a Scottish lieutenant-colonel and a Scottish “lad” in the square in front of the Castle of Copenhagen in 1628. Thus, as in every Christian country, sodomy was a crime in early modern Denmark, as once proclaimed by canon law and enforced by ecclesiastical courts, but these courts disappeared and canon law was no longer applicable following the Reformation in 1526.

In addition to Danish, she also speaks five other languages, including German.The law in modern Denmark with respect to Greek love followed a similar repressive trajectory to the rest of northern Europe, but in Denmark’s case its bark was mostly worse than its bite and the country was at times among the least intolerant. Margrethe, however, had a profound sense of individual spirit as a young woman and also pursued her passions in art, literature, ballet and philosophy. The once-frivolous girl with an interest in music and "nonsense" was soon whisked off to the best universities of the world to get a serious education in economics, history and law, including stints at the Sorbonne and Cambridge. The last time a female monarch had ruled Denmark was more than 500 years ago, and her father King Frederick IX had to alter the laws of succession to the throne in the absence of a male heir.Īt the age of 13, it became clear to Margrethe that she was destined to be Denmark's next monarch. The young Princess Margrethe was not always destined for the throne. Her sense for beauty has always been well defined and, as a young girl, she had keen interests in painting and archaeology.
