Attack On Åbo
The Attack on Åbo was launched by the Novgorod Republic on the Swedish city of Åbo () in 1318. The Novgorodian goal of capturing the city failed, but they managed to burn the outskirts. Prelude At the beginning of the 13th century, the eastern Swedish expansion began to slow down. This was mainly due to the fact that when Sweden extended further east, the more resistance was given by Novgorod. With the uprising against the Swedish king in 1317, the Novgorodians decided to take advantage of the chaotic situation in Sweden. Attack In the summer of 1318, the Novgorodians invaded along the coast and on 11 July the defenders of Åbo were overwhelmed, the nearby bishopric Kustö was captured and burned down, in the fire, the bishops archives which included all of Finlands earlier history were destroyed.

The union was not quite continuous; there were several short interruptions. Legally, the countries remained separate sovereign states, but their domestic and foreign policies were directed by a common monarch.

Karl Knutsson's campaign against Novgorod ( Swedish: ''Karl Knutsson Bondes tåg mot Novgoroderna'') was a successful Swedish-German campaign by the commander of Viborg, Karl Knutsson, against Novgorodian and Pskov forces during their war with the Teutonic Order in 1444. Background In 1436, the Swedish council sent a proposal to the Livonian master of the order, Heinrich von Vincke, about a possible alliance against the Novgorodians. This proposal was then seconded by Heinrich the same year when he sent another proposal to Christopher of Bavaria about a cooperation against the Novgorodians. Christopher would later promise the Teutonic Order that he would not allow his kingdoms to trade with Novgorod, and he also sent Karl Knutsson with a force from Viborg against Pskov. Campaign In May 1444, it was clear to Karl Knutsson that the Novgorodians were about to attack Narva, and he warns the Estonians in the area about what was about to occur.

Tiversk Campaign
The Tiversk campaign ( Swedish: ''Tiverskkampanjen'') refers to a war between Sweden and Novgorod in 1411, it was originally a Swedish attempt to destroy Tiversk but it would later develop into a larger conflict. Background Since 1399, the eastern border of Sweden had remained relatively peaceful, there were possible border skirmishes that took place, but no larger confrontations had developed. The Swedish passive policy on the border with Novgorod can be explained by the many wars it had to fight on other fronts, and on the Novgorodian side how they had to concentrate on the Teutonic Order. Campaign In 1411, the Swedes attacked the Novgorodian fortress of Tiversk, this was likely identical to the modern day Tiurula and it acted as a border fortress for Novgorod. The Swedes captured and destroyed the fortress. The Swedes were likely being led by the commander of Viborg, Tord Röriksson Bonde.
