Description

1221 failed Estonian siege of the Danish stronghold in the Livonian Crusade

1221 military conflict in Estonia during Livonian Crusade

Victory over the Swedish army in the Battle of Lihula inspired the Oeselians to further fight. In 1221 they tried to conquer the Danish stronghold in Tallinn with the help of Revalians, Harrians, and Vironians. They besieged the stronghold for 14 days and all Danish outbreaks were repulsed. One day, four cogs appeared unexpectedly, which the Oeselians thought to have been carrying the Royal Army of the Danish king.
