Danish term
Vor Gunst!
Danish to English
Social Sciences
History
I have found the phrase "Vor Gunst!" at the beginning of a command issued by King Frederik VI, but I am unsure of how to translate this. I have found vague references to the term, but no definitive translation. I assume it was used when addressing high-ranking officials.

Our favour!
This is the literal translation.
Googling a bit shows that it was a formal greeting used in official letters written on behalf of the king from around the mid-16th century, showing that the king looks on the recipient of the letter with favour.
However, what an appropriate English equivalent would be, would be a matter of a bit of research. Good luck.
