The Danish Royal Enclaves were the territory of the
Kingdom of Denmark which was located within the
Duchy of Schleswig. After the
Second Schleswig War, most of these areas were, like the rest of
Schleswig, ceded to the
Kingdom of Prussia. Most of these areas were returned after the
1920 Schleswig plebiscites. Before the war of 1864, the Danish monarchy consisted of the Kingdom of Denmark and the duchies of
Schleswig,
Holstein and
Lauenborg. Schleswig was a Danish fiefdom, while Holstein and Lauenborg were Holy Roman fiefdoms. All four areas belonged to the absolute monarch; but the government in
Copenhagen was divided into the Danish Chancellery, which was responsible for the kingdom and finances, and the
Schleswig-Holstein Chancellery, which was responsible for the duchies and foreign policy. The Kingdom and Duchies each had their own legislation and the official language was
Danish in the Kingdom and
German in the Duchies.
