Siege of Wittenburg

The Siege of Wittenburg was a major conflict of the Six Years' War, an infantry brigade under the command of Lord-Marshall Pierre Gascou besieging the castle of Wittenburg. The attackers enveloped the defenders and within a few short weeks assaulted it, taking the garrison with few losses and claiming it for the Kingdom of Almeron. The Stahlheimian defenders were few and demoralized, having been left behind by Grand Marshal Frederic Richter to hold the castle, and surrendered after the initial assault upon the courtyard.
