Peace of Travendal

Peace of Travendal

The Peace of Travendal (also Treaty of Travendal and sometimes spelled "Traventhal") concluded between King Charles XII of Sweden and King Frederick IV of Denmark represented Sweden's first success in the Great Northern War. By the terms of the Treaty of Travendal signed 18 Aug 1700, Denmark returned Schleswig to the duke of Holstein-Gottorp - a Swedish ally - and agreed not to fight against Sweden. The Danes only reentered the war after Charles had suffered a major defeat by the Russians at the Battle of Poltava in 1709.
