 Munk took part in the attacks on Wallenstein's troops at Fehmarn and in the Kieler Förde in March and April 1628.Munk died on 26 June 1628, probably as a result of being wounded in the battles in the Kieler Förde a couple of months earlier.According to the French scientist Isaac de la Peyrere, who served as a legate at the French embassy in Copenhagen, Munk died as a result of a dispute with King Christian IV, in which the king attacked Munk with his stick and thus caused his death.
