Duke Charles and his men set out…

August 1598 CE

Duke Charles and his men set out from Linköping on August 28, making camp at Mem, a few kilometers northwest of Stegeborg.

Negotiations between the parties are ongoing.

The Duke requests clear-cut answers from Sigismund, which the King interprets as indicating an impending assault.

His own army is in a trap, but he counts on help from forces elsewhere.

Hans Vejer is ordered to attack the Swedes in the back, from the west; another commander, Farensbach, draws up his forces in order of battle in front of the enemy.

Charles responds immediately.
