The <entity_0> (Swedish: Belägringen av <entity_6>) was an unsuccessful Danish <entity_7> on the Swedish-held city of <entity_6>, fought between <entity_3> and <entity_1>. Fought towards the end of the <entity_2>, the <entity_7> was one in a string of Danish losses that saw Swedish forces under King Charles XI of <entity_5> establish control over the southern region of <entity_5>. The fortified city of <entity_6> was the only Swedish stronghold that had not fallen into the hands of the Danes during the 1676-1677 period of the <entity_2>. To win the war, it was important for King Christian V of <entity_4> to capture <entity_6> and strike a blow against Swedish presence in the region. The <entity_7> began on <entity_3>, with the Danish navy anchoring in the roadstead north of the town and the Danish army camping on the plain south of the town. After the failed <entity_7>, on <entity_1> the Danish army began its retreat north to the town of Landskrona, where they would engage the Swedish at the Battle of Landskrona.
