More information

Vid freden i Kiel, januari 1814 stadgades att Danmark skulle avträda Norge till Sverige.
I Norge hade dock den danske prinsen Christian Fredrik den 17 maj valts till kung vilket den svenske kungen Karl XIII inte accepterade. Stridshandlingar inleddes därför till sjöss och till lands i juli 1814. Svenska arméstyrkor gick in i Norge. Fredrikstens fästning kapitulerade i augusti och stillestånd slöts i Moss den 14 augusti.
En union ingicks sedan den 4 november 1814 där Karl XIII valdes till Norges kung.
Unionen varade fram till 1905.
