Pomeranian ships from Szczecin, from the southern coast of the Baltic Sea, had attacked the Danish coast in the 1120s.
Duke Ratibor on August 10, 1135, assaults the Norwegian towns.
Konghelle is captured and burnt to the ground by Ratibor's forces, assisted by a fleet of five hundred and fifty ships with cavalry on board (each carrying forty-four men and two horses).
They lay the town in ruins, kill a large part of the population, and abduct most of the survivors as thralls to Szczecin.
Snorri Sturluson, writing a century later, says that Konghelle never completely recovered.
