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.

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.
