 In 1604, Norrköping's succession pact was made and the then 15-year-old Duke John formally renounced his succession rights.Instead, he received promises of several duchies, including northern and western Östergötland, Kinda and Ydre districts in Småland, the county of Läckö, and the entire small province of Dalsland.After John's renunciation, the next heir, the elderly regent Duke Charles, was proclaimed King Charles IX and was crowned.
