Editing 1346 (section)

=== Scandinavia ===
In 1346 Denmark sold Northern Estonia ([[Danish Estonia]]) to the [[Teutonic Knights]] following the end of an uprising and conflict between the pro-Danish party (bishop Olaf of Lindanise) and the pro-German party (captain [[Marquard Breide]]), called the [[St. George's Night Uprising]]. The Danish dominions in were sold for 10,000 [[mark (weight)|marks]] to the [[Livonian Order]], ignoring the promise by [[Christopher II of Denmark|Christopher II]] in 1329 never to abandon or sell its Estonian territories. The King of Denmark even made a public statement "repenting" for that broken promise, and asked forgiveness from the [[Pope Clement VI|pope]].<ref>Bousfield, Jonathan.
