June
Christian of Brunswick now finds himself with ample financial backing under a plan that involves Mansfeld, Christian IV, King of Denmark, and himself, pushing from the United Provinces and from Denmark.
Ordered to advance on the Rhineland, he has undertaken this mission but quickly found himself checked by Tilly in Hesse, and opted this time to retreat rather than fight.
Ill from the outset of the campaign, he dies at Wolfenbüttel on June 16, 1626, at the age of twenty-six.
