Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of the Life of Gustavus Adolphus, King of Sweden, Sirnamed the Great, Vol. 2 Soon after he invaded Hesse, and having joined himself with Aldringer, Fugger, and Mansfelt, advanced (whilst his majesty invested Marienberg) as far as Fulda, in order to succour the bishop of Wurtzburg, and shelter the electors of Cologn, Mentz and Triers. But in short, this great commander, in the present conjuncture, hardly knew what steps to take: mortified with misfortune, and piqued to the heart upon having made a shipwreck of one half of his glory, he was quite bewildered in his own ideas, having nothing certain to resolve upon, except it was to regain his character by some service of a desperate nature. And this, it is manifest, he ought to have attempted; but the Lorrainers did not join him quite so soon as he wished, and when that junction was formed at Miltenberg, he fell suddenly into a kind of despondence, for he did not like the aspects of his new assistants.
