- The Treaty of Speyer was signed on May 23, 1544 between Denmark and the Holy Roman Empire during a diet of the Holy Roman Empire in Speyer, Germany. Danish king Christian III had imposed heavy tolls on the Sound and two other channels between the North Sea and the Baltic sea, in an effort to end the Dutch dominance of trade in the Baltic region. Under pressure from Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, he agreed to exempt the Dutch ships from these tolls and give them free and unfettered access to the Baltic. In the treaty, Charles V also recognized Christian III as the rightful king of Denmark, and promised not to provide military support to his rival Christian II. The Treaty of Speyer dictated Christian III's foreign policy for the rest of his life. He kept Denmark at peace, refusing to involve the country in Protestant-Catholic conflicts such as the Schmalkaldic War of 1546. The Dutch would continue to dominate Baltic trade for another two centuries.
- De Vrede van Spiers was een vredesverdrag in 1544 tussen het Heilige Roomse Rijk en Denemarken dat de Nederlandse scheepvaart weer vrije toegang tot de Oostzee gaf na de Deense Successieoorlogen. Het verdrag werd getekend op 23 mei 1544, tijdens de rijksdag van Spiers. Onder druk gezet door de Heilige Roomse Keizer Karel V opende de Deense koning Christiaan III de Sont weer voor Nederlandse scheepvaart, zodat de Nederlanders hun handelsdominantie in de landen rond de Oostzee verder konden uitbouwen. De Nederlanders kregen vrijstelling van de zware tolheffing die Christiaan III op passerende schepen had geplaatst in een poging om de Nederlandse handelsdominantie in te dammen. In het verdrag erkende Karel V ook Christiaan III als rechtmatige koning van Denemarken, en beloofde geen militaire steun te geven aan zijn rivaal Christiaan II. Na de Vrede van Speyer hield Christiaan III zich buiten de Europese oorlogen, waaronder de protestants-Rooms-katholieke conflicten, zoals de Schmalkaldische Oorlog van 1546. Nederland zou nog twee eeuwen lang de handel in de Oostzee domineren.
