Siege of Vordingborg

The Danes managed to defend Vordingborg for two years until peace was settled at Stralsund.

[1] In November 1367, 77 members of the Hanseatic diet held in Cologne, decided to form a confederation to attack Denmark.

[3] At the outbreak of the war, the Hanseatic League would besiege Vordingborg, and a two-year-long siege would occur.

[4] During the siege, the fort's commander, Hans Tyrbagh, got reinforcements from Valdemar IV.

[5][7][6] In addition to the failed siege of Vordingborg, the Zealandic castles of Korsør, Holbæk, Søborg, Gurre, and Jungshoved also held out to the end of the war.
