Moreover, there were newer laws that were not properly entered into the older documented law record. As early as 1557 <a href="/wiki/Christian_III_of_Denmark" title="Christian III of Denmark">Christian III</a> had directed a revision of the Norwegian laws, without success. <a href="/wiki/Frederick_II_of_Denmark" title="Frederick II of Denmark">Frederick II</a> had also directed a revision of the law in 1572, without success. Yet another royal direction to translate the laws and add provisions for fines had been addressed to the governor, Axel Gyldenstierne, in 1592.<sup id="cite_ref-nbl_2-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-nbl-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><a href="/wiki/Christian_IV_of_Denmark" title="Christian IV of Denmark">Christian IV</a> was one of the most remarkable of the <a href="/wiki/Denmark-Norway" class="mw-redirect" title="Denmark-Norway">Danish-Norwegian</a> kings, having initiated many reforms and projects in both Denmark and Norway.

Under the eye of the king, the commission work quickly, and the new law book, which was printed in 1604, entered into force in January 1605 under the name, <i>KONG CHRISTIAN DEN FJERDES NORSKE LOVBOG af 1604</i>.
