Description: Contemporary account of the 1632 Battle of Breitenfeld from an English soldier serving in the victorious Swedish army and a contemporary political cartoon.
30 Years War Publications and Other Information Thirty Years War Publications and Other Information An eyewitness account of the Battle of Breitenfeld, September 1631. A 1631 broadside which circulated throughout Germany before the Battle of Breitenfeld, showing Johann Georg I Elector of Saxony, King Gustavus II Adolphus of Sweden, and the Imperialist Count Tilly, around a table with a series of bowls holding nuts in them (sweatmeats meaning "nuts,"). Adolphus is seen holding a chalice of justice and is about to clock Tilly across the head if he touches any of the bowls. The broadsheet says, in effect, that if the Emperor tried to touch the hitherto untouched "confection" of Saxony, they would find that it contained some hard nuts to crack (meaning the will of Gustavus II Adolphus).
