While Wallenstein (the leader of the opposing Imperial forces) retired with his army into Bohemia after the battle, the Swedes, though decapitated, continued their march into Germany. The Swedes split their forces, with Gustav Horn leading a Swedish army that ran the Imperials out of Alsace, while Oxenstierna led the main army into Leipzig, sweeping Wallenstein’s garrisons from Saxony.

Oxenstierna began to withdraw Swedish troops to the Baltic and worked with the Protestant German princes to conclude the Treaty of Heilbronn.

Even Richelieu, the effective ruler of France, contributed subsidies (though France was Catholic, like the Empire, France was op- posed to Spain).

  • London and Middlesex in the 1660S Introduction: the Early Modern
    London and Middlesex in the 1660s Introduction: The early modern metropolis first comes into sharp visual focus in the middle of the seventeenth century, for a number of reasons. Most obviously this is the period when Wenceslas Hollar was depicting the capital and its inhabitants, with views of Covent Garden, the Royal Exchange, London women, his great panoramic view from Milbank to Greenwich, and his vignettes of palaces and country-houses in the environs. His oblique birds-eye map- view of Drury Lane and Covent Garden around 1660 offers an extraordinary level of detail of the streetscape and architectural texture of the area, from great mansions to modest cottages, while the map of the burnt city he issued shortly after the Fire of 1666 preserves a record of the medieval street-plan, dotted with churches and public buildings, as well as giving a glimpse of the unburned areas.1 Although the Fire destroyed most of the historic core of London, the need to rebuild the burnt city generated numerous surveys, plans, and written accounts of individual properties, and stimulated the production of a new and large-scale map of the city in 1676.2 Late-seventeenth-century maps of London included more of the spreading suburbs, east and west, while outer Middlesex was covered in rather less detail by county maps such as that of 1667, published by Richard Blome [Fig. 5]. In addition to the visual representations of mid-seventeenth-century London, a wider range of documentary sources for the city and its people becomes available to the historian.

This is a report from a committee of MPs to Parliament. It explains their actions against the leaders of the Levellers. One of the men they arrested was John Lilburne, a key figure in the Leveller movement. What’s the background to this source? Before the war of the 1640s it was difficult and dangerous to come up with new ideas and try to publish them. However, during the Civil War censorship was not strongly enforced. Many political groups emerged with new ideas at this time. One of the most radical (extreme) groups was the Levellers.

Blakemore1 Introduction Pirates are popular. Inside academia and out, the pirate is a figure command- ing attention, fascination and quite often sympathy. Interpreted in various ways – as vicious criminals, romantic heroes, sexual revolutionaries or anarchistic opponents of capitalism – pirates possess an apparently inexhaustible appeal.2 The problem with “pirates,” of course, is that defining them is largely a ques- tion of perspective: perpetrators of maritime violence from Francis Drake to Blackbeard have been seen as both champions and murderers, and scholars have interrogated this very dimension of piracy as a historical concept.

  • 1 the NAVY in the ENGLISH CIVIL WAR Submitted by Michael James
    1 THE NAVY IN THE ENGLISH CIVIL WAR Submitted by Michael James Lea-O’Mahoney, to the University of Exeter, as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in September 2011. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. 2 ABSTRACT This thesis is concerned chiefly with the military role of sea power during the English Civil War. Parliament’s seizure of the Royal Navy in 1642 is examined in detail, with a discussion of the factors which led to the King’s loss of the fleet and the consequences thereafter. It is concluded that Charles I was outmanoeuvred politically, whilst Parliament’s choice to command the fleet, the Earl of Warwick, far surpassed him in popularity with the common seamen. The thesis then considers the advantages which control of the Navy provided for Parliament throughout the war, determining that the fleet’s protection of London, its ability to supply besieged outposts and its logistical support to Parliamentarian land forces was instrumental in preventing a Royalist victory. Furthermore, it is concluded that Warwick’s astute leadership went some way towards offsetting Parliament’s sporadic neglect of the Navy. The thesis demonstrates, however, that Parliament failed to establish the unchallenged command of the seas around the British Isles.

  • Havel Zusammen Mit Ihrem Größten Nebenfluß, Der Spree, Stellt
    Havel Zusammen mit ihrem größten Nebenfluß, der Spree, stellt die Havel den Hauptanteil am Gewässernetz der Mark. Der Quellsee der Havel ist unweit von Kratzeburg gelegene Middelsee. Von einigen Schwenkern abgesehen, verläuft sie im Prinzip erst in südlicher (bis zum Schwielow- see), dann in westlicher (bis zum Plauer See) und zum Schluß in nördlicher Richtung (wo sie bei Quitzöbel die Elbe erreicht). Bei einer Länge von 341 km weist sie eine Fallhöhe von etwa 39 m auf. Zur Charakterisierung ihres gewundenen Verlaufs sei noch angeführt, daß die Luftlinienentfernung zwischen Quelle und Mündung nur et- was über 90 km beträgt. Die Havel zeigt in ihrem gesamten Verlauf das Verhalten eines typischen Flachland- flusses mit langanhaltenden, aber nicht sehr ausgeprägten Hochwasserquellen und einer ausgeglichenen Niedrigwasserführung, die durch zahlreiche natürliche Retenti- onsflächen sowohl im oberen als auch im mittleren Bereich positiv beeinflußt wird. Durch die Einmündung der Spree wird die Havel nicht nur geographisch, sondern auch hydrologisch in zwei stark unterschiedliche Flußbereiche geteilt. Die Obere Havel von der Quelle bis zur Spreemündung ist von den hydrologischen Gegebenheiten her wesentlich weniger leistungsfähig als die Untere Havel, die erst durch den Abflußbeitrag der Spree zu einem beachtlichen Fluß wird. Nicht unerwähnt bleiben soll, daß beim Zusammenfluß von Spree und Havel die Spree über eine dop- pelt so große Abflußmenge mitbringt als die Havel, so daß es logischer gewesen wä- re, wenn sie anstelle der Havel den Namen beibehalten hätte. Aber diese hydrologi- sche Ungereimtheit teilt sie mit wesentlich bedeutenderen Flüssen und Strömen. Er- innert sei an das Verhältnis Elbe-Moldau, Oder-Warthe oder Mississippi-Missouri.

  • Hermeticism in Sweden 189
    Hermeticism in Sweden 189 Chapter 24 Hermeticism in Sweden Hermeticism in Sweden Susanna Åkerman The fragmentary sources for tracing Hermeticism in Sweden stem from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, when these texts still formed a basis for cosmological thinking. The Corpus Hermeticum was often associated with another Hermetic text, the Tabula smaragdina or Emerald Tablet. Translated into Latin from the Arabic in the twelfth century, the text was particularly pop- ular among German alchemists, who rarely read the Corpus Hermeticum but instead based their understanding of Hermeticism on the short sentences from the Emerald Tablet. The Emerald Tablet was furthermore used to present alchemy in a simple but enigmatic form. The Tablet formulated the kernel of Hermeticism in a widely spread maxim on the parallels between the cosmo- logical macrocosm and the human microcosm: “As above, so below”. This figure of thought had a great influence on Hermeticism in Sweden. Swedenborg, for example, reformulated it to treat of correspondences between the natural, the spiritual, and the heavenly realms. Hermetic philosophy likewise influenced three other currents: mysticism, alchemy, and Rosicrucianism. Seventeenth-Century Metaphysics Hermeticism began to be an important current in Sweden with Johan Skytte (1577–1645), who was the Chancellor of Uppsala University. In the 1640s Skytte delivered an oration in which he praised King Gustavus II Adolphus for having opened the doors for “Theophrastus [Paracelsus] and [Hermes] Trismegistos” to the Swedish universities. This was a clear signal that the older pagan phi- losophy was compatible with Christian beliefs. In the same spirit, the Finnish natural philosopher Sigfrid Aron Forsius (1560–1624) edited several almanacs to be used for astrological purposes.

  • Three the Golden Age of Opportunity, 1645–1723
    three The Golden Age of Opportunity, 1645–1723 The friars’ opposition to ancestral cults and their promotion of women’s religious activities placed Fuan converts in a difficult social position during the 1630s and early 1640s. They encountered hostility and re- pression from both the state and the local elites. The Manchu invasion, however, turned the religious allegiance of Christian literati from a li- ability into a strength and offered them a means of gaining social stand- ing and receiving official sanction for their faith. The events of the Ming-Qing transition show the importance of historical contingency and of improvisation in the spread and establishment of Christianity in Fuan. The localization of the faith depended on long-held hopes and values that nurtured the religious longings of converts: a desire to ex- tinguish sin, hope for salvation after death, and a sense of community and personal fulfillment expressed in piety and spirituality. But fleeting events linked to historical junctures also carried great weight in creat- ing the most favorable environment for the implanting of Christian values and practices.1 The state of war and the political and military volatility between 1644 and the early 1650s were loyalty tests for local elites: Should they ————— 1.
