Danehof ("Danish Court") was the name of the Danish medieval parliament which played a certain role between c. 1250 and 1413.
The precondition of the Danehof – like that of the Håndfæstning - was the growing power and opposition among Danish magnates after 1250. They wanted limitations of the royal power, especially of its right of legislation and taxation. The political weakness of the royal house during this period seems to have promoted its development. By 1282, King Eric V of Denmark had so offended the nobles throughout Denmark that he was forced to accept a Royal Charter (Håndfæstning), which limited his authority and guaranteed the ancient rights and customs which preserved the power of the nobles.
