Last Feud (1559) was a conflict that ended the independence of Dithmarschen, a self-governing peasant republic in what is now northern Germany. A coalition led by King Frederick II of Denmark and his uncles Duke Adolf I and Duke John the Elder, launched an invasion to bring the region under control.^[1]

The campaign was led by General Johann Rantzau, whose forces defeated the Dithmarschen militia and captured key towns, including Meldorf and Heide.^[2]
