In my PhD diploma, the first lines are the following:
D D
Imperante augustissimo
Carolo XVI Gustavo
Suecorum rege
domino nostro clementissimo
iussu facultatis scientarum upsaliensis
ego
xxxxx
doctor et professor
munere promotoris legitime perfungens
what declension is Carolo XVI Gustavo here (ablativ, dative?) and why?
also, what is D D?

Is your name Carl Gustav?
Where did you graduate from?
Sweden?

I see a translation, possibly:

Since the highest one is ordering
By/for(the benefit of) Carl Gustav
By the king of the Suecans
By our lord most forgiving
By bidding the directive of the upstanding body of scientists
I,
XXX
learner and teacher,
Performing the duty of my position...
My interpretation of this is that it's Ablative like the other bits of the sentence, since it's unlikely to be sent to a random person name Gustav, nor would it be for Gustav's benefit; it would be for the benefit of the reciever of the certification.
