Gustavus II Adolphus (1594–1632), King of
Sweden from 1611. He made peace with Denmark in 1613 and with Russia in 1617, and began a war against the Catholic Vasas of Poland in 1621. After repeated defeats he concluded a six-year truce in 1629. In 1630 his fear of the increasing Imperial power in the Baltic led him to intervene in the
Thirty Years War. He obtained help from France, but was at first opposed by the German Protestant princes, most of whom joined him after his victory at Breitenfeld (1631). He penetrated deep into W. and S. Germany. He was killed in battle at Lützen.
