  • The Battle of Lier was fought on 18 April 1808, between Swedish and Norwegian forces, during a Swedish invasion of Norway. The Swedes crossed the border in several brigades, of which the General-in-chief, Gustaf Mauritz Armfelt, followed the first; he arrived at the strong Norwegian position at Lier and decided to attack it, to reach Kongsvinger Fortress. Before launching the main attack, the Swedes made diversionary attacks on the flanks, of which the left one was particularly successful; Bernt Peter Kreutz, the Norwegian commander, reacted by shifting over troops to his threatened flank, which enabled the Swedes to capture his exposed right. Meanwhile, the Norwegian redoubt covering the road was likewise captured, as the Swedish main army swiftly attacked. Kreutz decided to retreat by the evening, fearing he would be cut off from the Kongsvinger fortress. Armfelt did not follow up his victory, instead he remained at Lier until late May, when he received orders to withdraw; the Swedes retreated out of Norway in May–June, after a fruitless campaign.

  • Slaget vid Lier var ett slag under dansk-svenska kriget 1808-1809. Det utkämpades den 13 april 1808 mellan svenska och dansk-norska styrkor vid Lier i östra Norge och slutade med svensk seger. Den 15 april 1808 gick den svenska 1:a brigaden om 1.250 man under ledning av arméchefen själv, general Gustaf Mauritz Armfelt in i Norge för att kunna gruppera belägringsartilleri mot Kongsvingers fästning. Angreppet skedde på tre fronter under Cederström vid Häljeboda, Liljeström vid Emterud och Armfelt längs huvudvägen. Det norska försvaret leddes av överste Werner Nicolai de Seue som förde befäl över "sentrumsbrigaden" på 1.900 man som skulle försvara Aurskog-Høland och Kongsvinger under överinseende av prins . Försvarsstyrkorna längs gränsen drog sig omedelbart bakåt och den svenska huvudstyrkan under Armfelt kunde slå läger vid Matrand 16 april och förstärktes samma dag av Upplands regemente från den 2:a brigaden. Den norska förhoppningen om hindra svenskarnas frammarch vid Kongetorp omöjliggjordes när Liljeströms styrkor fördrev försvararna vid Pramhus och tvingade norrmännen att falla tillbaka till förskansningarna vid Liergårdarna i passet mellan sjöarna Føskersjön och Tarven. Skansen försvarades nu av 1.000 man under befäl av major Kreutz från Norske Lette Bataljon. (sv)
