Looks like lese (in the original post of this thread) may not tie into lese majeste.
The former, as Rouspeteur notes, traces back to teutonic tongues (as does the suffix -less), referring to "lost". But lese majeste comes from latin laesa or laesae, "injured", via middle french.
tsuwm, am I missing something here?
