For centuries, the duchy of Slesvig has been under the rule of the King of Denmark. The early military records of the duchy has followed the Lægdsruller system found in the rest of Denmark. These records can be found under the county level. In 1864, Prussia successfully took over Slesvig, and the military records followed the political change. Many of the changes in the military records include a change from Danish to German, more detailed information about the individual, and a change in the record keeping system. | For centuries, the duchy of Slesvig has been under the rule of the King of Denmark.
