La 4e de couverture indique: "The articles in this book address a variety of important
topics related to the Sound Toll, ranging from its introduction and first troubled
years in the late Middle Ages, via its administration and custom houses throughout
the centuries, to its revenues and accounts from its inception until its demise. Along
the way, the articles tell of Mother Sigbrit challenging the seafaring nations around
1520; of wars and international entanglements in the sixteenth century; of the fight
for access to the Baltic export so vital to the growing populations of Western Europe;
of how Christian IV severely raised the toll rates, with disastrous consequences;
of the Swedish attack that led to the Torstenson War of 1643-45; of the loss of Halland
and eventually, in 1658-60, also of Scania and Blekinge; and of the brazen smuggling
carried out by English skippers in the 1700s."
