Historical background
Gustavus Adolphus led Sweden into the Thirty Years’ War in 1630. At Breitenfeld in 1631, Swedish and Saxon forces defeated the imperial army in a battle that altered the balance of the conflict.
The Swedish king was killed at Lützen in 1632. Sweden remained in the war, and his death became central to the way later generations remembered him.
