Commentary for Nedarim 55:10

אמר רב הונא תנא בית שמאי אומרים לא יפתח לו בשבועה ובית הלל אומרים אף יפתח לו בשבועה לבית שמאי בשבועה הוא דלא יפתח לו הא בנדר יפתח לו והא תנן בית שמאי אומרים לא יפתח לו בנדר

it is different when made under duress.

Ran on Nedarim

2. The tax collector standing over him. "...The Tosafot wrote that the concept of 'dina de-malchuta dina' applies exclusively to non-Jewish Kings; since the land is his and he can say that if one doesn't obey his command, he will expel them from the land; however, Jewish kings may not because all Jews are partners in the Land of Israel" [translation from http://adderabbi.blogspot.com/2005/02/ran-on-nedarim-28a-and-israeli.html]
