Treaty of Novgorod

Encyclopedia : T : TR : TRE : Treaty of Novgorod

The Treaty of Novgorod, signed on 3 June, 1326 in Novgorod, marked the end of decades of the Swedish-Novgorodian Wars in the far-northern region called Finnmark. The terms were an armstice for 40 years and an adjustment of the borders based on the Treaty of Nöteborg. The treaty did not delineate the border but rather stipulated which part of the Saami will pay tribute to Norway and which one — to Novgorod. The treaty remained in effect for many centuries and was never abrogated by any of the powers.
