[1] In 1340, 50 rebelling Jutes under Niels Ebbesen, who were furious with the current regime, assassinated Count Gerhard in Randers.

[3] Ebbesen and his men may even have participated in the meeting at Viborg and hailed the newly elected Valdemar IV of Denmark the same year.

[4] However, in 2010 Anders Bøgh and Carsten Porskrog Rasmussen working for Jysk Arkæologisk Selskab raised uncertainty about the place of battle.

[4] Considering that Niels Ebbesen's other known war activities are linked to East Jutland, where he committed his murder in Randers and fell during the siege of Skanderborg on 2 November 1340, it is quite likely that it was in Skjern parish that the Germans were by building a castle, and that we have the first mention of a castle on the siteThis theory has been met with critique from among others Poul Grinder-Hansen at Nationalmuseet, who argues that Bøgh and Rasmussen do not support their claim efficiently enough.

[5] In February 1933, Scheel Pousel tried to get Skjern Museumsforeningen to raise a memorial stone for the 600-year jubilee of the Danish victory, however, this would never be accomplished.
