What if at the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658 Denmark kept Scania (and Bleking and regained Halland ), but instead lost the entire Norway?

ASB. Skane was the gateway for danish invasion into Sweden. Karl X saw an opportunity to cripple Denmark and took it. Unfortunally he didnt wait 5 years and built another army and then went after the rest.

If he had vaited five years he wouldn't have a chance, It worked because of the cold winter at time so the sea was frozen so his army could cross, even in the small iceage that kind of winter was rare.

But then he had the ability to descend/land an invasion force on Sjaelland a few months later!
Denmark was horribly badly prepared for war and needed strong allies. Perhaps if Christian 3. had been prepared to die in his nest in 1658 those allies could be given the time to show up...

But then in those days before the absolute monarchy changed the electorate kingdom of Denmark into the hereditary kingdom Norway was needed because it being hereditary ensured the succession of the present kings son to the throne of Denmark.
Denmark would not have parted with Norway 1658 much less than it was prepared to do 1813!
