Treaty of Malmö

1524 treaty making Sweden independent of the Kalmar Union

The Treaty of Malmö (Swedish: Malmö recess), signed on 1 September 1524, ended the Swedish War of Liberation. The king of Denmark-Norway acknowledged the Gustav Vasa as the king of Sweden, who in turn renounced claims to Scania and Blekinge. [1]

The difficult question of the control of Gotland was deferred to later occasion, to be refereed by a committee of representatives from various Hanseatic League cities. Swedish troops were to continue military occupation of Ranrike until the issue was resolved. By 1532, no agreement had been reached, and Ranrike was returned to Denmark-Norway in exchange for 1,200 guilders. [2]
