The Battle of Warksow took place on the Baltic Sea island of Rügen on 8 January (O.S.)/18 January（N.S.）1678 during the Swedish-Brandenburg War. In the battle Swedish forces defeated an allied army composed mainly of Danes supported by a smaller contingent of Brandenburg and Hesse-Cassel troops.
The Swedes were able to muster some 3,500 men for the battle,[1] including 2,000 cavalry.[5] The allied Danish and Brandenburg troops amounted to about 4,670 men, including a few hundred Brandenburg and Hesse-Cassel soldiers and 1,770 cavalry, as well as 16 cannon.[2]
170 Swedes lost their lives in the battle and subsequent pursuit.[3] The Danish/Brandenburg side lost 400 killed[5] and more than 3,600 captured. After the battle and in the days that followed, the entire allied force were captured or forced to follow the Swedish flag.
