FOOTNOTES:
[1] These campaigns, however, did more than bring about a truce and
place several important cities under Swedish sovereignty; they prepared
Gustavus Adolphus and his soldiers for the greater struggle about to
begin, and furnished means for its prosecution.
[2] The motives of Gustavus Adolphus for taking part in the Thirty
Years’ War are clearly stated in the minutes--they were religious,
political and commercial. Cf. Fries, _Svenska Kulturbilder_, p. 19
ff.
[3] Christina was born at Stockholm on December 8, 1626. Her education
was thorough and extensive. At the age of 16 she could write and speak
German and Latin fluently and had a good knowledge of Greek.
In Innsbruck she formally accepted the Catholic faith in 1655 and
settled in Rome for the rest of her days except at short intervals.
She revisited her native land in 1660 and again in 1667 and made
pretentions to the throne. She died at Rome in April, 1689.

measures, see the author’s _Swedish Settlements on the Delaware_,
