From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
'Abjuration' is the solemn repudiation, abandonment, or renunciation by or upon
oath, often the renunciation of citizenship or some other right or privilege. It
comes from the Latin abjurare, "to forswear").
'Abjuration of the realm' was a type of abjuration in ancient English law that
was a renunciation of citizenship, a type of self-imposed exile. The person
taking the oath swore never to return to the kingdom unless by permission. This
was often taken by fugitives who had taken sanctuary:
In England, an oath of abjuration was taken by members of Parliament, clergy,
and laymen, pledging to support the current British monarch and repudiated the
right of the Stuarts and other claimants to the throne. This oath was imposed
under William III, George I and George III. It was superseded by the oath of
allegiance.
Another famous abjuration was brought about by the Plakkaat van Verlatinghe of
July 26, 1581, the formal declaration of independence of the Low Countries from
the Spanish king, Philip II. This oath was the climax of the Eighty Years' War
(Dutch Revolt).
