Convention of Moss
The Convention of Moss was the ceasefire agreement signed on 14 August 1814 at Moss, south of Christiania, that ended the brief Swedish–Norwegian War. Norway's regent Christian Frederik agreed to abdicate, while Sweden accepted the Norwegian constitution of 17 May 1814. It led to the union of Sweden and Norway, with Charles XIII elected king of Norway by the Storting that November.
