The
sieges of Riga
were two sieges which took place on February 22 and June 15, 1700, in
Riga
[1]
: 687
during the
Great Northern War
. The
Swedish
garrison of about 4,000 men under the command of
Erik Dahlberg
successfully repulsed the Saxons until the main Swedish army under
Charles XII of Sweden
arrived to sweep the Saxons away in the
battle of Riga
which ended the period of sieges for the year.
The successful attempt to take the city from Sweden was made in the
siege of Riga (1710)
by the Russians under
Peter the Great
.
