Helsingborg


So I was cleaning out my computer - purging various old files as I am prone to saving everything for no good reason and I found a text file that contained this:

1710 In the Battle of Helsingborg, 14,000 Danish invaders under Jørgen Rantzau are decisively defeated by an equally sized Swedish force under Magnus Stenbock. This is the last time Swedish and Danish troops meet on Swedish soil.

Now this leaves me wondering WTF I was doing and why I thought that was apparently noteworthy enough to have its own file. While I am partially Swedish, I am not particularly interested in history, so I really cannot figure out for the life of me what this was about.

Though I do think the o's with the little slash mark are very cute....
