Narva

Although it took 21 years after Peter ran away at the battle of Narva, Russia finally got a Baltic coastline.

Yam was carried by assault and a force of 20,000 Swedes defeated outside Narva, which place was then invested.

Thus Narva became the first objective for the armies of Peter.

His reverse at Narva aroused the Tsar to tremendous exertions.

King Charles' service is a grand school for soldiers, and that victory of Narva is the most extraordinary one ever seen.

I think that even you, general, would rather have gone through the battle of Narva, than have spent that night among the wolves.
