Everything about Battle Of Bogesund totally explained
The
Battle of Bogesund was an important conflict in the campaign of
Christian II to gain power over
Sweden. In 1520, Christian's army of mercenaries had landed in Sweden, seeking to consolidate Christian's powers over Sweden within the
Kalmar Union and to unseat the rebellious Swedish viceroy
Sten Sture the Younger. On the ice of lake Åsunden near
Bogesund, Christian's army led by Otto Krumpen was intercepted by a force led by Sten Sture.
Little is known of the details of the battle. At an early stage, a cannonball ricochetted off the ice, hitting Sten Sture in the leg and killing his horse. Deprived of their leadership, Sture's forces (mostly armed peasants) fell into disarray and fled. Sture himself retreated towards Stockholm, but died of his wounds on the ice of lake
Mälaren on
February 5.
The anti-union resistance was continued by Sture's widow
Christina Gyllenstierna and ultimately
Gustav Vasa.
