I *thought* it was the English Civil War, but I did not believe > a battle in 1645 could have been decisive when the monarchy was still > around as late as 1651. Oh, those 17th-century British! Well, I had the same wrong answer as you, although I did have another war in mind. I never heard of Naseby, but it sounds suspciously Scandinavian. I ruled out my war on the grounds that an Aussie is unlikely to know about this war, and which was a sort of side war to the Thirty-Year War. Swedish forces attacked Denmark from the German side and fell into Jutland. The piece treaty from Brösebro is well-known in Sweden, as it brought Sweden some territorial gains that remain today. (And in 1657 Swedish forces redid the same trick and thanks to the blazingly cold winter 57-58 the could cross the straits and lay Copenhagen under siege. That peace treaty was no fun at all for the Danish crown.) I'm not very well verse in the English civil wars, so I don't blame myself for missing that one. |
