Erik V

Erik V

▪ king of Denmark
byname  Erik Glipping, or Klipping  
born c. 1249, , Denmark
died Nov. 22, 1286, Finderup, Den.

      king of Denmark (1259–86) whose reign saw the expansion of the power of the great nobles and prelates, formalized by the royal charter of 1282, and the restoration of Danish sovereignty in Schleswig (southern Jutland).

      The son of Christopher I, Erik succeeded to the throne in 1259 after the murder of his father during a power struggle with Archbishop Jakob Erlandsen. In 1261 the royal army was defeated by forces in Schleswig and Holstein organized by Erlandsen, and Erik and the queen mother were taken prisoner. Released in 1264 through the intervention of the pope and of German princes, he was declared of age in 1266.

      After the death of his cousin Erik, Duke of Schleswig, in 1272, Erik gained control of Schleswig and in 1276, against the opposition of the magnates, had his son Erik VI Menved recognized as his successor. The great nobles, however, steadily increased their power, and in 1282 they forced Erik to grant Denmark's first royal charter, the haandfaestning, which protected the nobility from arbitrary imprisonment and forced the king to call a yearly meeting of the nobles' and prelates' assembly, the hof (Latin parlamentum), which had been meeting periodically since the reign of Valdemar II 50 years earlier. The haandfaestning, Denmark's first written constitution, marked a loss of power for the peasantry and for the provincial things (assemblies) and enabled the magnates to carry out sweeping reforms in domestic and foreign policy in the remaining years of Erik's reign. He was murdered in 1286.
