The Battle of Detern took place on September 27, 1426 near Detern , a village on the East Frisian - Oldenburg border. In the battle, a peasant East Frisian army under Focko Ukena and Sibet von Rüstringen defeated the army of Oldenburg, the archbishop of Bremen and the counts of Hoya , Diepholz and Tecklenburg , who besieged Detern, who were allied with chief Ocko II. Tom Brok .
Focko Ukena - a former follower of Ockos - defeated the united Bremen-Oldenburg knight army after Count Dietrich von Oldenburg left his allies in the course of the battle. Count Johann von Rietberg, the second son of Otto II. Von Rietberg and Konrad X. von Diepholz , fell and Archbishop Nikolaus von Oldenburg-Delmenhorst was taken prisoner, but was released after negotiations with the Bremen council .
