August 1598 CE
Conflicts are taking place in Dalarna, where a pro-Sigismund bailiff, Jacob Neaf, has tried to raise up the Dalecarlians against Duke Charles, at the same time as the peace treaty is being signed in Linköping.
Chaos ensues.
Neaf is executed, and the Dalecarlians set out on the so-called Neaf Campaign (1598), burning and killing down to Brunnbäck ferry.
Carl Carlsson Gyllenhielm, the illegitimate son of Duke Charles, defeats the rebellion in Västergötland.
