As this event occurred around the same when Tartu fell, these two events have been tied together and grand theories about anti-Estonian alliance between Yaroslav the Wise and Swedish king Olav Tryggvason, have been coined. Unfortunately, these theories cannot be proved, and it is more likely that the Iron Gate is located somewhere in Northern Russia, rather than near Tallinn. Thus, the Battle of the Iron Gate is a sort of event that cannot really be tied to the history of Estonia. But, as this is often done, it also should be mentioned here.
