The Battle of Reval took place on June 30, 1602, during the PolishâÂÂSwedish War (1600âÂÂ1611) near present-day Tallinn in Estonia.
The Polish forces were led by Grand Field Hetman Stanisà Âaw à »Ã³à Âkiewski, who had been sent against Swedish forces gathering by Tallinn by Grand Crown Hetman Jan Zamoyski. à »Ã³à Âkiewski attacked "on the march" with two squadrons of Polish hussars. The charge, however, was not successful.
As a result, the Swedish forces put up frisian horses as a protection against further frontal cavalry charges. à »Ã³à Âkiewski then sent light cavalry on a round about flanking maneuver which attacked the Swedes from behind, coinciding with another charge by the hussars. The Swedish lines broke as a result. The Swedes were led by Reinhold Anrep.
