Kdo je hodil z Gustav II. Adolf?

Gustav II. Adolf, švedski kralj, * 9. december 1594, Tre Kronor (grad), Stockholm, † 6. november 1632 Lützen, Saška, Sveto rimsko cesarstvo

Adolf je postal kralj, ko mu še ni bilo 17 let. Na začetku je doživel kar nekaj težav. Njegov oče Karel IX. si je prilastil krono zakonitega kralja Sigismunda, ki je bil tudi kralj Poljske. Karel je moral v vojno s Poljsko zaradi spornega ozemlja ob Baltiku in nasledstva ruske krone. Istočasno je izval vojno s starim nasprotnikom-Dansko, čeprav je bil finančno in vojaško šibak. Dežela je bila notranjo razcepeljena in nezadovoljno švedsko plemstvo je Gustava sprejelo za kralja šele takrat, ko je podpisal listino, s katero je bila njegova moč omejena.

Ebba Magnusdotter Brahe (16 March 1596 – 5 January 1674) was a Swedish countess, landowner, and courtier. She is foremost known for being the love object of King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, who wished to marry her prior to his own marriage, a plan which was however never realized. Their love affair, the subject of fiction, has become famous in Swedish romantic history and is documented in their preserved correspondence.
