Dano-Estonian War of 1219-27

Years: 1219 - 1227

The capital of Danish Estonia is Reval (Tallinn), founded at the place of Lyndanisse after the invasion of 1219.

The Danes build the fortress of Castrum Danorum at Toompea Hill.

Estonians still call their capital "Tallinn", which according to an urban legend derives from Taani linna (Danish town or castle).
