Treaty of Stettin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Treaty of Stettin (Szczecin) brought the Northern Seven Years' War to an end on December 13, 1570. On July 1570, Polish king Sigismundus II Augustus initiated a peace congress in Szczecin, aiming to end state of war between Lübeck, Sweden and Denmark. Sweden was forced to pay 150.000 riksdaler for the ransom of the fortress of Älvsborg. The Kalmar Union was formally dissolved and the Danish king renounced all claims to the Swedish throne. Sweden acknowledged for the first time Skåne, Blekinge and Halland as Danish provinces. A treaty was also signed with Lübeck. Poland kept Courland, Muscovy captured Dorpat.
