Battle of Toverud
The Battle of Toverud was a skirmish at the farm Toverud in Aurskog on the night between 19 and 20 April 1808, as a part of the Dano-Swedish War of 1808-1809.
==Background==
On April 14, 1808 the Swedish 2nd Brigade under Colonel Schwerin had crossed the Swedish-Norwegian border at Skillingfors and marched westwards towards Aurskog and Høland. Major Friederich Christopher von Ditten who was commander of the small Norwegian outposts stationed in the area, chose to pull his forces back across the river Glomma instead of attacking the Swedes. This meant that the road was open for Count Axel Otto Mörner's cavalry unit, who then occupied the undefended Blaker entrenchment on 16 April.
Prince Christian August had been informed about the Swedish attack and had ordered six companies and some dragoons, a total of 2,200 men,〔Olsen 2011, pp. 318-19〕 to march northwards from Råde, and on the evening of 18 April the prince and his forces spent the night at Trøgstad Church. It was during his stay there that he were told that the Swedes had captured Blaker entrenchment. So at dawn on 19 April he continued the quick march northwards towards Aurskog.
On the same day, Colonel Schwerin also sent a company northwards towards Blaker to reinforce Count Mörner, but at Killingmo they went right on one of the Norwegian vanguards and choose to retreat back to Colonel Schwerin's headquarters at Haneborg.〔 Prince Christan August had thereby managed to cut off Count Mörner and his troops from the Swedish 2nd Brigade, and by ordering two of his companies to entrenched themselves on the farms in Rakkestad, the Prince intended to block Count Mörner's ability to retreat.
