The Siege of Dansborg (Danish; Belejringen af Dansborg) alternatively the Siege of Fort Dansborg (Danish; Belejringen af Fort Dansborg) sometimes also referred to as Willem Leyel's siege on Dansborg (Danish; William Leyels belejring af Dansborg), was a siege initiated by traveler and seafarer, Willem (Danish; William) Leyel, against the men loyal to governor Bernt Pessart. The siege was concluded after the men at Dansborg opened the gates for Willem Leyel, surrendered and accepted Leyel as the new governor.
