I have deleted the following paragraph because it is not encyclopædic:

"Probably because of the lack of a strong Medieval Danish middle class the Danehof never developed a House of Commons like in England and when it faded away at the start of the 15th century it was long ago reduced to a forum of which decisions already made were presented. Just like the haandfæstning it did not emerge into a true democratic instrument."

I also feel that comparing Danehof with the Parliament of England is somewhat misplaced. Medieval Scandinavian deliberative assemblies had an entirely different structure to that of England, being tetracameral with four estates (the nobility, the clergy, the burgher, and the peasants) compared to England's bicameral parliament with two chambers (lords and commons). A better comparison would be with Sweden or Finland's Riksdag. Perhaps it would be better to state that, unlike in Sweden and Finland, the Danehof of Denmark did not develop the lower estates into a legislative body similar to the House of Commons of the English Parliament.
