The
Treaty of Roskilde was signed on
February 26,
1658in the
danish city
Roskilde, whereby
Denmark sacrificed nearly half her territory to save the rest. But this was not enough and a
council held at
Gottorp[?] on July 7, Charles X resolved to wipe from the map of
Europe an inconvenient rival, and without any warning, in defiance of all international equity, let loose his veterans upon
Denmark a second time.
The Treaty of Roskilde was a result of Charles X Gustav of Sweden (Karl X Gustav) glorious occupation af Zealand, which started with the landing on February 11, 1958.
The Treaty of Roskilde was preceded by the Treaty of Taastrup[?] on February 18, 1958.
