The Battle of Tybrind Vig (Swedish: Slaget vid Tybring Vig; Danish: Slaget ved Tybrind Vig) also called the Battle of Tybrind Bay was a successful Swedish attack on a Danish force stationed on Fyn in early 1658. Only 200 Danes managed to escape the fighting, with the rest being captured or killed.
Background
[edit]On the morning of 30 January, 1658, it was a clear day. When the sun rose, the entire Swedish army was prepared and ready to march on Brandsö, and after a 30-minute discussion, the Swedes were ready. The Swedish cavalry was put into two flanks, the right led by Carl Gustaf Wrangel, along with Claes Tott, consisting of some 1,500 men, and the left one, led by King Charles himself, consisting of some 2,300 men. However, since Charles continuously moved back and forth between the troops, Fabian Berndes was given direct command of the left wing in the eventual absence of the king. Each wing brought with them some 3-pounders, expecting the march to end with a full scale assault under enemy fire ont he Danish positions on the opposite shore.[1][2]
The infantry, under the command of Lieutenant General Jacob Casimir De la Gardie, consisting of some 2,800 to 2,900 men, was to take a different and longer route. All units were ordered to converge on Tybrind Bay, just north of Iversnæs.[1][2]
The Danes noted that the Swedish vanguard, a few hundred cavalry under Colonel Bornman, had set their sights on Tybrind Bay, therefore, a few units were moved there from Iversnæs. Responding to the Swedish advance, the Danes quickly engaged with the Swedish reconnaissance units. The Swedish soldiers quickly stuffed their hats with bundles of straw and cried out "Help, Jesus!".[3]
