The imperial defenders of Wolgast, in charge …
Years: 1630 - 1630
August
The imperial defenders of Wolgast, in charge since the battle of 1628, are defeated on August 7 in the town, and on August 25 in the castle of Wolgast.
While Gustav’s success is to be longer lasting than Christian’s, he will return to Wolgast on July 15, 1633 in a casket, when his body is embarked for the final transfer to Sweden.
