Peace of Roskilde
The Peace of Roskilde was concluded on February 26th . / March 8, 1658 greg. closed between Denmark-Norway and Sweden . It initially led to Denmark's departure from the coalition against Sweden under Karl X. Gustav in the Second Northern War .
Denmark had to evacuate its property in what is now southern Sweden. This gave Sweden access to the Öresund and the Kattegat with the landscapes of Schonen , Blekinge and Halland ( Skåneland ) . Halland fell to the Swedes for 30 years in the Peace of Brömsebro in 1645. Sweden also won the Norwegian provinces of Båhuslen , Trondheims len and Romsdal as well as the Danish island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea .
In the Treaty of Copenhagen in 1660, Trondheim and Bornholm returned to Danish ownership; In return, Sweden received the until then Danish island of Ven .
Paragraph 9 of the peace treaty stipulated that the rights, privileges and freedoms of the inhabitants of the Danish parts of the country ceded to Sweden should remain intact. Nevertheless, a comprehensive Swedishization of Schonens, Blekinge and Halland began.
