Gustav Vasa, who after going to Gästrikland and attempting to rally support for his rebellion, returned to Dalarna in early April and was informed of the victory in the Battle of Brunnbäck Ferry.

His troops had on April 23 made camp by Romfartuna Church, where the army was mustered.

No major victory was won and the Danish forces remained in the city for a month, making more, if failed, sorties against the besieging Swedish troops.

On May 20 the Danish left the city, leaving only a small force in Västerås Castle and shipping away the other troops.

The castle held out until January 30, 1522, when attempts to aid the garrison by sea from Stockholm failed.
