The Assault on Gullberg Castle (Swedish: Anfallet mot Gullbergs fästning; Danish: Angreb på Gullberg Slot) occurred on 26 January 1612 during the Kalmar War. The female commander of the fortress, Emerentia Krakow, successfully led the Swedish defense after her husband, Mårten Krakow, broke his leg after falling off his horse.
