Answer
The exemption from Sound Tolls was granted to Stockholm during the reign of Frederick III of Denmark. This privilege was a strategic move to secure Stockholm's support and maintain Denmark's control over the lucrative toll collection at the Øresund Strait, a key trade route in the Baltic Sea region. By exempting Stockholm from these tolls, Frederick III aimed to strengthen diplomatic ties, boost trade, and consolidate Denmark's regional influence.
