Gustavus Adolphus the Great

[KarlXII]

I have to confess that despite the fact there's a Lutheran college right here in Minnesota that's named after the man, I'd never really paid any attention to who he was until after I joined the Org.

Nice article, although it does portray him as little more than a Swedish version of Alfred the Great. Perhaps that was intentional?

Unfortunately, for whatever reason, I was hard pressed to find a proper biography on the King. Most information you can get is on the 30 years war in general, with little mention of Adolphus' true exploits.

And yes, Gustavus is often seen as Sweden's Alfred the Great
