About the battle
The siege of Skanderborg (Danish: belejringen af Skanderborg), alternatively the siege of Skanderborg Castle (Skanderborg Slot), was a siege of the Holsteinian-held Skanderborg Castle in Jutland by Jutish rebels led by Niels Ebbesen. Despite being close to surrendering, the Holsteinian garrison received a relief force led by Henry II of Holstein-Rendsburg and defeated the Danes in the Battle of Nonnebjerg on 2 November 1340.
