Siege of Skanderborg
1340 siege in Denmark
The siege of Skanderborg, alternatively the siege of Skanderborg Castle, was a siege of the Holsteinian-held Skanderborg Castle in Jutland by Jutish rebels led by Niels Ebbesen. Despite being close to surrendering, the Holsteinian garrison received a relief force led by Henry II of Holstein-Rendsburg and defeated the Danes in the Battle of Nonnebjerg on 2 November 1340.
