Victory over the Swedish army in the
Battle of Lihula inspired the
Oeselians to further fight. In 1221 they tried to conquer the Danish stronghold in
Tallinn with the help of
Revalians,
Harrians, and
Vironians. They besieged the stronghold for 14 days and all Danish outbreaks were repulsed. One day, four
cogs appeared unexpectedly, which the Oeselians thought to have been carrying the Royal Army of the Danish king. The siege was ended and the Oeselians left.[1]
