Montecuccoli's landing on Funen occurred on 26 June 1659 when an allied force, six Dutch ships and 9,000 troops attempted to land on Swedish-occupied Funen. The Dutch ships initially bombarded the Swedish positions and the Allied troops managed to land unopposed. These were later repulsed by the 4,000 Swedish troops under the command of Carl Gustaf Wrangel. The allies suffered heavy casualties with 5 of the Dutch warships being damaged.
