Duke Frederick banishes Rosalind from his court primarily due to his growing jealousy of her close relationship with her father, Duke Senior, who has been overthrown and exiled. Rosalind's presence serves as a reminder of Duke Senior's authority and the former court's values, which irritates Duke Frederick. Additionally, he perceives Rosalind as a potential threat to his own power and wishes to eliminate any influences that could challenge his rule.

He sees Rosalind as a potential threat to his power and influence, fearing that her presence might inspire loyalty to her father among the courtiers. Additionally, Duke Frederick is quick to act against anyone he perceives as a rival, and Rosalind's intelligence and strength of character make him wary.

See the related link. Basically, Duke Frederick is a very greedy person and banishes alot of ppl. There has been a lot of ppl banished and the deposed Duke Senior (Duke Frederick's brother) and those friendly to him (other banished ppl) have fled to a nearby forest (Forest of Arden). These include his daughter Rosalind and Celia, the daughter of the usurping Duke Senior, a depressed guy called Jaques, and Orlando. Rosalind has disguised herself as a boy (Ganymede) and she and Celia pretend to be shepherds. Orlando and Rosalind are in love, and Orlando has written love poetry all over the place. Rosalind teases him in her guise as a boy. Orlando's brother Oliver falls out with the usurper and comes into the forest , where he and Celia fall for each other. Rosalind attracts a girl called Phoebe, but Rosalind arranges that Phebe should marry the young man who loves her Silvius, Oliver should marry Celia and Orlando should marry Rosalind herself. All this transpires as the usurping Duke Senior restores the exiled one, since virtually the entire population has moved to the forest to get away from the usurper.
The de Boys brothers (Orlando and Oliver) aren't the only dysfunctional siblings in As You Like It. The first thing we find about Duke Frederick is that he's banished his older brother from court and has also stolen his title. As Charles the wrestler/local gossip tells us, "the Old Duke [Senior] is banished by his younger brother, the new / Duke [Frederick]" (1.1.2). Not only that, but Duke Frederick also boots Rosalind (his niece and his daughter's beloved BFF!) out of his court too. Why? Because he's afraid Rosalind is more popular than Celia. (Dang. Frederick's just as spiteful petty as Oliver.)Still, Shakespeare was in a generous mood when he wrote As You Like It, so there's some hope for Duke Frederick. Toward the end of the play, we learn that Frederick has slapped together a posse to track down Duke Senior in the forest. Just as Frederick arrives at the Forest of Arden, he bumps into a "religious man" and decides to change his evil ways. Jaques de Boys tells us how it all went down:Duke Frederick, hearing how that every dayMen of great worth resorted to this forest,Address'd a mighty power; which were on foot,In his own conduct, purposely to takeHis brother here and put him to the sword:And to the skirts of this wild wood he came;Where meeting with an old religious man,After some question with him, was convertedBoth from his enterprise and from the world,His crown bequeathing to his banish'd brother,And all their lands restored to them againThat were with him exiled. This to be true,I do engage my life. (5.4.1)Huh?! You're probably thinking that Duke Frederick's "conversion" is pretty sudden and so random that it's hardly believable. Well, you're absolutely right but that's OK because we totally get Shakespeare's point: even the worst kind of human being can be redeemed.
As in the Shakespeare play from which the screenplay is closely adapted, Rosalind lives with her uncle, the new Duke, after her father is banished.

As in the play, and in the story Shakespeare based his play on, Celia becomes Aliena and Rosalind becomes Ganymede.
He didn't like her father who was his brother and the rightful Duke. If this play was Hamlet you could call him Claudius. Still, Duke Frederick didn't kill his brother--just banished him to live in the forest.

Duke Frederick of Saxony died on 1510-12-14.
Duke Frederick of Saxony was born on 1474-10-26.
Branagh's film uses the text of Shakespeare's play as the basis of the screenplay and so the terms of the banishment are the same as in the play. The Duke's line is "Within these ten days if that thou be'st found so near our public court as twenty miles thou die'st for it." Those are the exact words Brian Blessed uses in the film. So the answer is twenty miles from the French town (in the play) or the Japanese town (in the film) where the Duke rules.
