About the battle
The siege of Kolding (Danish: Belejringen af Kolding) also known as the siege of Koldinghus, was a siege by the County of Holstein on the Danish castle of Koldinghus in 1368 during the Danish–Hanseatic War (1361–1370). The siege would end inconclusive for both sides; however, the commander of the castle, Peder Iversøn, promised to surrender if King Valdemar IV of Denmark would die, abdicate, or lose the kingdom. Presumably, Iversøn surrendered at last, since he would not be mentioned in the later peace talks.
