Poland and the Czar of Bussia, who, having formed a coalition against him, had invaded Sweden. By the treaty which he concluded with them he annexed the greater part of Li- vonia and the town of Riga to his own dominions. He soon after be- came, at the request of the Protestants of Crermany, the head of their league.
The Emperor Ferdinand II. was at that time carrying on a bitter perse- cution against the Lutherans. Gu»- tarus Adolphus landed with an army in Pomerania in June, 1630, took a larg
...e number of fortresses and cities in that province and in Mecklenbui^, and gained a decisive victory over Field-Marshal Tilly at Leipsic in September, 1631. He again defeated Tilly on the banks of the Lech in April, 1632, on which occasion Tilly was killed. Wallenstein, the ablest commander in the imperial service, was then sent against the Swedish King. The great battle of Liitzen was fought November 16, 1632. Gus- tavus was mortally wounded in the early part of the engagement, but his troops, exasperated by his death, fought with unusual determination, and completely routed the enemy.
