1558 military conflict in Estonia during Livonian War
The siege of Narva was a Russian siege of the Livonian city of Narva from April through May 1558, during the Livonian War. After capturing the city in July 1558, the Russians used Narva as a trading center and port to move goods from Pskov and Novgorod. The Russians controlled the city until 1581, when it was captured by Swedish forces under Pontus De La Gardie.
