The Ditmarschen Campaign of 1559 (Danish; Ditmarskenfelttoget af 1559), also commonly known as the Last Feud (Danish; Sidste Fejde: German; letzte Fehde), was a quick military campaign of Frederick II of Denmark and his two uncles, Adolf, Duke of Holstein-Gottorp and John II, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg, against the Dithmarschan peasantry in 1559.
Despite previously succeding in repelling a Danish invasion in 1500, the campaign was a swift and unexpensive for Frederick II, and Dithmarschen would be partitioned by Frederick, Adolf and John.
