Battle of Prestebakke
From Warlike
The Battle of Prestebakke was fought on 10 June 1808, between Swedish and Norwegian forces, during the Dano-Swedish War of 1808–09. After the Swedish retreat out of Norway, a small detachment was left at Prestebakke and Berby. Christian August ordered a Norwegian offensive to drive them out, which was carried out by Arild Huitfeldt. Georg Adlersparre had the overall command, but was not present; instead, von Knorring acted as commander at the battle. He was completely surprised by the Norwegian attack, which led to the capture of the majority of his forces. The battle came with no strategic effects, as the Swedes retaliated on 14 June and retook what had been lost.
