When the crisis had been averted, the
Swedish knights continued their attack, at which point the Novgorodians opened their ranks to let the Swedes through, and then surround them. The Swedes were put in a bad situation, however, after mobilizing all of their forces, the Swedes managed to fight their way back to their lines. After this, the Novgorodian attack soon diminished and for a short period of time, the two armies stood in front of each other. During this standstill, Mats Kettilmundsson challenged the bravest Novgorodian to a duel, however, this challenge was never accepted, with the most common explanation being that the Novgorodians believed it to be a trap. Despite this, Mats gained great renown for his courage.

Landskrona, Sten, along with a few healthy men from the Swedish garrison rode out to see what the Novgorodians were doing. After coming to the mouth of the river, he met no enemy, but when he began riding back towards Landskrona, he encountered a small group of Novgorodians, who attempted to ambush him. After fighting his way through the ambush, he encountered another troop, but also fought away that one and managed to come back to the fortress, wounded.

Novgorodians. The few healthy men in the Swedish garrison, who were able to get protection from the fortresse's well-fortified places managed to keep up the battle for a long time, but this would ultimately be in vain, as they quickly succumbed to fatigue, and the Swedes quickly fell to the Novgorodian attack.

The
Novgorodians set fire to the houses in the fortresses, with all the sick people inside the fortress being burned alive or stabbed, killing them. The commander, Sten, was also killed at this moment, who wanted to instead give himself over as a prisoner of war. A certain Carl Hack, who had put on a

After the
Novgorodians had captured the fortress, they were filled with so much hate that they immediately destroyed it. After destroying it, the Novgorodians took as much booty as possible and 118 prisoners. No further sources tell of any fighting on the eastern border of Finland from 1302 to 1310.

In the spring, Torkel Knutsson organized a large fleet, and began sailing with a force of around 1,100 men towards the east. Along with Torkel, many other notable people were following him on the expedition, these being: Mats Kettilmundsson, Peder Porse, Heinrich von KĂĽren, and Ivan von KĂĽren. Their

It is unknown who the hälsingar were, but they eventually began falling back from the Novgorodian advance. Seeing this, the Swedish knights along with Mats Kettilmundsson, Peder Porse, Henrik von Küren, and Ivan von Küren attack the Novgorodians, at which point the Novgorodians "were sweating red".

Soon after, the first attack on Landskrona occurred. The translator that demanded the capitulation of the fortress put the strength of the Novgorodians as high as 31,000, and the chronicle speaks of 1,000 lodja vessels, but the request to capitulate was out of the question for Landskronas defenders
663:
Early in the Spring of 1301, a new and large Novgorodian and Nisowskan army under the command of Grand Duke Andrej stood outside of Landskrona. The Novgorodians began their attack by sending a small force to the mouth of the Neva, and began to cut down several trees. They put these cut down trees

One night, likely in August, the Novgorodians retreated from the fortress. The construction of the fortress would continue steadily, with the patience of the knights in Landskrona began to wane due to the idle life there. Torkel Knutsson would quickly decide to return home to Sweden.

After their arrival, the Swedes immediately began constructing a fortress. It was most likely made out of wood and it was likely situated on a promontory between Neva and its tributary Ochta. The Swedes would name the fortress
