    In early February of 1850 the Royal Besmenian Armed Forces marched towards the Heulania territorial capital of Laitstadt, meeting resistance from Tinegardian militias. Gustaf I had became severely ill in late February of 1850, delegating military leadership to his son, Gustaf II. Gustaf II did not receive word of his military appointment until the Royal Besmenian Armed Forces reached Laitstadt. The defending militias (who were volunteers or conscripts at this point) in Laitstadt were poorly equipped and inadequately supplied to mount a defense against the Royal Besmenian Armed Forces. General Markus Nyhus was routed a year prior and unable to stage a breakout or counter offensive to relieve the city. The siege of Laitstadt lasted for two weeks until Gustaf II opened discussions for a peace treaty.
