Assault on Copenhagen

The assault on Copenhagen, also known as the battle of Copenhagen, on 11 February 1659, was a major engagement during the Second Northern War, taking place during the Swedish siege of Copenhagen. Following the arrival of Swedish forces on Zealand on 7 August 1658, they intended to attack Copenhagen, thus conquering Denmark. Upon their arrival to Copenhagen on 11 August, the Swedes decided to lay siege to the city instead of taking immediate military action.
