Dano-Swedish War (1470–1471)
War between Denmark and Sweden / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dano-Swedish War was the first conflict between Denmark and Sweden.[citation needed] The Danes invaded Sweden by sea, but were defeated early at the Battle of Brunkeberg, in which King Christian I of Denmark was wounded by a cannonball. The Danish invasion was repelled, and the Swedes were independent from the Kalmar Union.
