In 1700, the Battle of Narva, located in present-day Estonia, marked a pivotal moment in European history. This clash between the Swedish army led by King Charles XII and the Russian forces under Prince Alexander Mavrokordatov (Alexander Archilovich of Imereti) took place on November 19. The intricately detailed maps from the era, such as those by Pieter Mortier and Anonymous master, illustrate the strategic locations of the two armies. The Imperial regimental flag, depicted in an 18th-century painting, showcases the power and might of the Russian forces. Pieter van der Aa's painting of the battle scene brings the chaos and intensity of the encounter to life, while David Krafft's depiction of King Charles XII highlights the courage and determination of the Swedish monarch. Willem Swidde's map and the anonymous master's illustration further emphasize the vastness and complexity of the battlefield. The Siege and Battle of Narva in 1700 ultimately resulted in a significant Russian victory, marking the beginning of the end for Swedish dominance in the Baltic region.
