Storming of Kristianopel
The Storming of Kristianopel occurred on June 26, 1611, during the Kalmar War. Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden led an assault from the camp in Högsby in Småland on Kristianopel in Blekinge. The Swedes managed to siege the fortified city and went in by bombing the fortress port, which was badly defended. Right after the assault, there was a massacre on the city's population, with rape and pillaging.
