The War in Gotland was an armed conflict between the rural farmers of the island of Gotland and the burghers of its town of Visby; two battles were fought, one at Högebro, at which the burghers emerged victorious and Roma, in which neither side won. However, the war concluded with the Treaty of Gotland which was mediated by King Magnus III.
