About the battle
The siege of Dannemarksnagore took place in 1707 at the Danish colony of Dannemarksnagore in Bengal, between the Danes and the Mughal subahdar of Bengal, Azim-ush-Shan.
After owing money to local merchants, the Danish factory of Dannemarksnagore in Bengal was besieged by the Mughal Subahdar, Azim-ush-Shan, until the Danish governor, Jacob Panck, gave gifts to Azim-ush-Shan, making him lift the siege and subsequently sign a ceasefire.
