metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The first treaty between Denmark and Muscovy was concluded in 1493, to be followed by
  further treaties in 1506 and 1516. Based on extant copies of the Danish letters of treaty and the early
  correspondence between Vasiliy III and Danish King Hans, the article scrutinizes the Danish version
  of Ivan III’s title (in Latin), in particular the inclusion of the term imperator (i. e. tsar) in the title. At first
  glance, the use of the term seems unlikely, both in the general context of late-medieval Catholic notions of
  empire, and because Ivan III did not use tsar as part of his title in communications with European sovereign
  princes. As it turns out, however, he used it consistently in his diplomatic dealings (through his Novgorod
  namestniki) with the less sovereign political subjects of the Baltic region, and there is reason to conclude, as
  does the article, that he persuaded or forced the Danish envoy to Moscow in the summer of 1493 to include
  the term in his full title ― a fact which would mean the recognition by the sovereign monarch of Denmark,
  Norway and (soon-to-be) Sweden of the Muscovite Grand Prince as co-equal with the Holy Roman Emperor
  in terms of rank. This was a first step on the road to general European recognition of the imperial title of the
  rulers of Russia — and no mean achievement on the part of Ivan III.
