Treaty of Soldin

Treaty of Soldin

The Treaty of Soldin ( _de. Vertrag von Soldin) of 1309 was a treaty signed at Soldin (Myślibórz) by Waldemar, Margrave of Brandenburg-Stendal, and the Teutonic Order.

After having been earlier hired by the Polish duke Władysław I the Elbow-high to support Danzig against Waldemar, resulting in the Teutonic takeover of Danzig when Poland did not pay up, the Order instead purchased from Waldemar the rights to Pomerelia and Danzig (Gdańsk) for 10,000 silver Mark to legally keep the town and lands.

The treaty was subsequently confirmed in 1311 by Emperor-elect Henry VII [Norman Davies, God's Playground: A history of Poland, 1979 [http://books.google.com/books?id=b912JnKpYTkC&pg=PA74&vq=1308&sig=vGKVavkEjTeByFbm8Y-eOESCD9Q#PPA74,M1] ] , but repeatedly questioned by Poles, leading to Polish-Teutonic Wars.

In the Treaty of Kalisz (1343), the Polish king finally recognized the territorial changes.
