Sweden’s regent, Sten Sture the Elder, retaliates…

1497 CE

Sweden’s regent, Sten Sture the Elder, retaliates for the Danish seizure of Kalmar by laying siege to the Swedish coronation center of Uppsala, and intercepts John’s forces as they advance on the main Swedish commercial center of Stockholm.

The Danes, however, defeat Sture’s Dalecarlian (Darlarnan) reinforcements before they can link with the main Swedish forces.

Sture accepts defeat.
