Truce of Altmark
The Truce of Altmark was a six-year armistice signed on 26 September 1629 at Altmark (Stary Targ) near Malbork, ending the Polish–Swedish War of 1626–1629. Mediated by France, England and Brandenburg, it left Sweden most of Livonia and the right to levy tolls in the Prussian ports, while Poland-Lithuania kept Latgale. The terms freed Gustav II Adolf to intervene in the Thirty Years' War.
