 | | The victory of Fy11 ebro (Aug. 17, 1676), when Charles and his commander-in-chief S. Helmfeld routed a Danish division, was the first gleam of good luck, and on the 4th of December, on the tableland of Helgonabck, near Lund, the young Swedish monarch defeated Christian V. of Denmark, who also commanded his army in person. |
 | | The battle of Lund was, relatively to the number engaged, one of the bloodiest engagements of modern times. |
 | | This proved to be the last pitched battle of the war, the Danes never again venturing to attack their once more invincible enemy in the open field. |
