Battle or uprising · 14.05.1343
Battle of Sõjamäe
The rebels of Harjumaa had besieged Tallinn, waiting for help from Sweden. On 14 May 1343 the army of the Livonian Order attacked them on the hill east of the town as they tried to withdraw to a bog. It was a massacre: chronicles say about 3,000 Estonians were killed. The Swedish fleet arrived too late. The name Sõjamäe, 'War Hill', is said to recall the battle, and the area is now a district of Lasnamäe in Tallinn.

Harjumaa mässulised olid piiranud Tallinna, oodates abi Rootsist. 14. mail 1343 ründas Liivi ordu vägi neid linnast idas asuval kõrgendikul, kui nad üritasid taanduda rappa. Järgnes veresaun: kroonikate järgi tapeti umbes 3000 eestlast. Rootsi laevastik saabus liiga hilja. Arvatakse, et nimi Sõjamäe meenutab just seda lahingut; tänapäeval on see Tallinna Lasnamäe linnaosa asum.
