Treaty of Ribe
The Treaty of Ribe, issued on 5 March 1460, was the charter by which the estates of Schleswig and Holstein elected King Christian I of Denmark as duke of Schleswig and count of Holstein after the Schauenburg line of Holstein-Rendsburg died out. In return he promised that the two lands would remain forever undivided ('up ewig ungedeelt'). The clause was later invoked by German nationalists in the Schleswig-Holstein Question.
