The king gathered his knights and, together with Wenceslaus, attacked the Estonians. The iron-clad knights, after a stubborn struggle, defeated the weakly armed Estonian detachments and put them to flight.
After the castle was completed, the king sailed to Denmark, leaving a strong garrison in Reval. For the next year, the Reval garrison fought with the Estonians and probably withstood the siege more than once. Only by the end of the year, when the Danes managed to force the Reval Estonians to be baptized with weapons and persuasions, peace was established in the region.
The Danes gained a foothold in Reval and, relying on Reval castle, managed to subjugate the whole of northern Estonia in two years. The Russians couldn't stop them. Internal political strife began in Novgorod as early as 1218, and the Novgorod rulers had to temporarily abandon the struggle for their possessions in Estonia. The Livonian Order took advantage of the weakening of the Russians and subjugated southern Estonia.
The Estonians very soon felt the full weight of Danish-German rule, and unrest began among them. In 1222, the Great Estonian Uprising took place. The free Ezel fishermen were the first to rise, sending messengers to the mainland. Envoys of the rebellious Ezel traveled around the country, calling on the people to rise up against the knights. In addition, Estonia turned to Novgorod for help.
Small Novgorod detachments immediately entered Estonia and occupied the most important strategic points of the country. A year later, Prince Yaroslav Vsevolodovich with an army of twenty thousand"entered Estonia and moved south into the possession of the order. Envoys of the Ezelian Estonians, who played a leading role in the uprising, caught up with him on the way and persuaded him to first go to the Revel Danes, take Revel and thus secure his rear for the future struggle against the order. The Russian army, reinforced by Estonian detachments, turned towards Reval and besieged the castle.
Yaroslav stood for four weeks under the walls of Reval, but did not succeed. Henry of Latvia explains the failure of the siege by the fact that the Russians had too few siege engines, and the Danes inflicted heavy damage on the besiegers from numerous balistas. Seeing that it was impossible to take Reval with available forces, Yaroslav lifted the siege and soon returned to Russia. Due to the complicated political situation, Novgorod could no longer send large forces to Estonia. The following year, the Estonian uprising was suppressed.
The Danish knights imposed such feudal oppression in Estonia that they surpassed even their fellow knights of the Livonian Order in this respect. In 1343, the patience of the Estonian people overflowed. On the night of April 22-23, a bonfire burned on a high hill in Garia. It was the signal for an uprising. That same night, people began to rise up all over the country to fight against the Danes. The rebels concentrated their forces in the Reval region and laid siege to Reval, the stronghold of Danish rule in Estonia.
