Two Treaties of Örebro[1] were signed on the same day, 18 July 1812, in Örebro, Sweden.

Notes and References

  1. The treaties were drawn up in French, the lingua franca of diplomacy at that time. Neither the original French nor the official English translation used a diacritic mark when spelling Örebro and so the official name is "Treaty of Orebro" (;).
