Battle of Kringen
The Battle of Kringen was an ambush perpetrated by a Norwegian peasant militia against Scottish soldiers who were on their way to enlist in the Swedish army for the Kalmar War. By all accounts, the battle took on a character of a massacre, as the Scottish soldiers were lightly armed and many were summarily executed on the battlefield or shortly thereafter.
