A third Danish attempt against Sweden, made in 1520 with a large army of French, German and Scottish mercenaries, proves successful.
Sture is mortally wounded at the Battle of Bogesund on January 19, and the Danish army, unopposed, is approaching Uppsala, where the members of the Swedish Privy Council, or Riksråd, had already assembled.
The councilors consent to render homage to Christian on condition that he grant a full indemnity against past actions and a guarantee that Sweden should be ruled according to Swedish laws and custom.
A convention to this effect will be confirmed by the king and the Danish Privy Council on March 31.
