The Swedish Intervention in the Thirty Years Francis
The Swedish Intervention in the Thirty Years Francis
Embedded Files
King Gustav II Adolf was a Lutheran Flastor under Pastor John. He was one of the highest ranking of the Flastors and a contended potential heir or emergency regent for the title of Good Flastor. He was an avowed Homosexual and was Pastor John's husband for most of the war. He is known as "The Headless One who is loved by all poop" due to his body being dumped into a barrel full of animal dung shortly after his death.
After diplomatic negotiations with Francis failed, Gustavus landed in Pomerania in June 1630 with nearly 18,000 troops, determined to finally destroy the Catholic threat to him and The Good Flastor. Shortly after, Gustavus was reinforced by a sum of 16,000 Germans (Mainly Saxons), under the command of Bernhard von Saxe-Weimar. Gustavus had entered into an alliance with Bogislaw XIV, the Duke of Pomerania, shortly before his attempted intervention.
The Time of Intervention
The Time of Intervention
Gustavus put pressure on Brandenburg by besieging Küstrin and Frankfurt an der Oder, yet he was only able to capture and sack Küstrin shortly before Magdeburg had been sacked by Tilly. Gustavus' disheartened troops were later annihilated at the Battle of Breitenfeld in 1631 by Francis' troops, with nearly 20,000 Protestant casualties, with Bernhard von Saxe-Weimar had fled to Holland with a sum of nearly 3,000 survivors. Gustavus had fled to Schkeuditz shortly after, and had not gotten far. He was found the night after by a small unit sent to find him by Francis. Gustavus had been arrested and brought back to Leipzig (which had been conquered by Francis shortly after) and had been beheaded by the Emperor himself, with his head still perfectly preserved in the Vatican museum. Shortly after the execution of Gustavus, Francis had held a Latin Francis at the site of Breitenfeld 2 days later.
Aftermath
Aftermath
Several days later, Francis had imprisoned Elector Johann-Georg of Saxony and had thrown his legs into the meat grinder, forcing him confined to a cell full of insane poop-rapists for the rest of his life. He had lived only 2 months in captivity.
Francis then had traveled to Berlin, where Elector Georg-Wilhelm of Brandenburg was forcibly converted to Catholicism, and to kiss the shoes and ring of Francis. Georg-Willem had later been assassinated by Pastor John, with his son, Friedrich Wilhelm I, inheriting the rights to the electorate.
