wow... no wonder monarchies are dead
Lemme share another watershed moment.
Battle of Lutzen, where another monarch, Sweden's Gustavus Adolphus, died in battle.
Basically, the Lion from the North (Gustavus' sobriquet) was so fearless that he didn't fear leading his armies from the front. He died, killed by enemy soldiers when he got separated from his guards' retinue in the chaos of battle.
And also, his death turned the Protestant tide back to Northern Europe. Had he lived and won the Thirty Years' War, he might've converted the Holy Roman Empire to Protestantism.
