her appointed guardian Explanation: From V&B: lavværge sb. (jur.) (widow's) guardian; • beskikke en lavværge for hende appoint a guardian for her. Note: This was in the "good old days" when females were treated more like property than equals. A widow could not speak on her own behalf. A male guardian was appointed for her.
