The Battle of Stralsund was a battle of the Thirty Years' War, fought starting July 5, 1628, between the Holy Roman Empire and an alliance of the Swedes, Scots, and the inhabitants of Stralsund. The battle began when the Imperialists under Albrecht von Wallenstein besieged the port of Stralsund. General von Wallenstein swore to take the port in three days. The port was defended mainly by the inhabitants, aided by a small garrison of Swedes and Scots. After a siege of eleven weeks, Wallenstein was compelled to withdraw his troops from the port with heavy casualites.
