Years: 1612 - 1612
Sweden’s seventeen-year-old King Gustavus Adolphus has inherited from his father the throne and the war with Denmark as well as an ongoing succession of occasionally belligerent dynastic disputes with his Polish cousin Sigismund III of Poland.
The controlling, organizing hand of Axel Oxenstierna, who in January 1612 becomes Lord High Chancellor of Sweden, soon becomes apparent in every branch of the administration.
Gustavus Adolphus sues for peace, but Denmark’s Christian IV sees an opportunity for larger victories, and strengthens his armies in southern Sweden.
