Tordenskjold, a great naval hero in Danish history, fought against the Swedes with unparalleled courage and intelligence. He told many stories, such as how he deceived the head of a Swedish commando so he believed that there were many more Danish soldiers than was really true. Not all the stories are true. Here you can read about Tordenskjolds life from his birth in Trondheim, apprenticing to be a tailor, fought in Dynekilen until his death in a daring duel.
