<p>[QUOTE=&quot;quick dog, post: 89740, member: 4093&quot;]I don&#039;t have the references in front of me, but it seems pretty ironic to me, this story of Christina.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Thirty Years War (1618 -1648) was a massive bloodbath wherein the Holy Roman Empire and associated monarchs of Europe attempted to wipe out Protestant Germans, English, and their lowland allies.&nbsp; As I recall, King Adolph Gustaf (or Gustaf Adolph?) of Sweden played a prominent (and fatal) role in the effort to stop the Catholic carnage along the Baltic coast.&nbsp; He was killed, but Wallenburg (sp?) and the Catholics finally went home because of the massive human and treasure cost of the War.</p><p><br /></p><p>The King of Sweden was a heroic field warrior for the Protestant side.&nbsp; I assume the Christina was his daughter or niece.&nbsp; Don&#039;t know, but odd.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />dd:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
