  • The Scots in Sweden Part Ii
    THE SCOTS IN SWEDEN PART II (D) MILITARIA THE PERIOD OF CHARLES XII. No two other nations can boast of so large an element of romance in their history as the Scottish and the Swedish nations. The reader often forgets that he has facts before him, and not the most poetically fanciful or barbarously frightful imaginations of an overwrought brain. Think of the amount of mystery that enters into the life of Mary Queen of Scots; of the death-feuds of the Highland clans; of the wanderings of the Pretender. In Swedish history what can be more romantic than the adventurous youth of Gustavus Vasa, and the imprisonment, madness, and poisoning of King Erik XIV.? Whole periods in the life of Gustavus Adolphus - I here especially allude to his “Brautfahrt” (“search for a bride”) in Germany - are still shrouded in mystery, and now we come to the most romantic King of all, the stubbornly brave, fiery, and thoughtless Charles XII. - not a man who would have been, like Gustavus Adolphus, equally great in the tranquil times of peace, had he ever known them; not a lovable, wise man like Gustavus Vasa, whom the cruel persecutions of his youth did not render bitter and revengeful; but a remarkable man all the same, with something of meteoric rapidity and demoniac splendour in him or rather in his career. For he himself was plain almost to shabbiness, plain in speech, in his food, and in his dress. No strong drink ever passed his lips after the follies of his youth. But his great characteristic was his uncurbed love of war.

PREFACE Since ever dwellers on the Continent were first able to navigate the ocean, the isles of Great Britain and Ireland must have been objects which excited their supreme interest. To this we owe in part the com- ing of our own early ancestors to these isles. But while we have histories which inform us of the several historic invasions, they all seem to me to belittle far too much the influence of the Norse Invasions in particular. This error I would fain correct, so far as regards Celtic Scotland.

  • 2014Football Guide
    2014 FOOTBALL GUIDE WWW.GAC.EDU/ATHLETICS/FB ABOUT GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS COLLEGE For over 150 years, Gustavus Adolphus College has been educating tomorrow’s leaders to reason and act responsibly through its educational quality, accessible facilities, spiritual identity, and economic value. Quality is a word that finds its way into many colleges’ vocabularies. At Gustavus, quality is evident in its students, faculty, facilities, and programs, leading to recognition by a host of impartial critics. Forbes.com ranked Gustavus among the top 100 institutions in the country in its college report based upon several factors, including the average amount of student debt and the four-year graduation rate. The College is also included in other national guides and rankings, for example the Fiske Guide, U.S. News & World Report’s Best College Guide, and the Princeton Review, which in addition has ranked the Gustavus Dining Service among the best in the nation in each of the past two years. Gustavus students typically rank in the top third of their high school graduating class, and over 37 percent rank in the upper 10 percent of their class. Continuing their achievement at Gustavus, students find a challenging academic atmosphere where professors—98 percent of tenured faculty members have earned the highest degree in KING GUSTAV II ADOLF: THE their field—teach all classes (there are no graduate assistants) and serve as academic advisers.

    Issue 63: How the Vikings Took up the Faith Conversion of the Vikings: Did You Know? Fascinating and little-known facts about the Vikings and their times. What's a Viking? To the Franks, they were Northmen or Danes (no matter if they were from Denmark or not). The English called them Danes and heathens. To the Irish, they were pagans. Eastern Europe called them the Rus. But the Norse term is the one that stuck: Vikings. The name probably came from the Norse word vik, meaning "bay" or "creek," or from the Vik area, the body of water now called Skagerrak, which sits between Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. In any case, it probably first referred only to the raiders (víkingr means pirate) and was later applied to Scandinavians as a whole between the time of the Lindesfarne raid (793) and the Battle of Hastings (1066). Thank the gods it's Frigg's day. Though Vikings have a reputation for hit-and-run raiding, Vikings actually settled down and influenced European culture long after the fires of invasion burned out. For example, many English words have roots in Scandinavian speech: take, window, husband, sky, anger, low, scant, loose, ugly, wrong, happy, thrive, ill, die, beer, anchor. … The most acute example is our days of the week. Originally the Romans named days for the seven most important celestial bodies (sun, moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn). The Anglo-Saxons inserted the names of some Norse deities, by which we now name Tuesday through Friday: the war god Tiw (Old English for Tyr), Wodin (Odin), Thor, and fertility goddess Frigg.

  • The English-Language Military Historiography of Gustavus Adolphus in the Thirty Years’ War, 1900-Present Jeremy Murray
    Western Illinois Historical Review © 2013 Vol. V, Spring 2013 ISSN 2153-1714 The English-Language Military Historiography of Gustavus Adolphus in the Thirty Years’ War, 1900-Present Jeremy Murray With his ascension to the throne in 1611, following the death of his father Charles IX, Gustavus Adolphus began one of the greatest reigns of any Swedish sovereign. The military exploits of Gustavus helped to ensure the establishment of a Swedish empire and Swedish prominence as a great European power. During his reign of twenty-one years Gustavus instituted significant reforms of the Swedish military. He defeated, in separate wars, Denmark, Poland, and Russia, gaining from the latter two the provinces of Ingria and Livonia. He embarked upon his greatest campaign through Germany, from 1630 to his death at the Battle of Lützen in 1632, during the Thirty Years’ War. Though Gustavus’ achievements against Denmark, Russia, and Poland did much in establishing a Swedish Baltic empire, it was his exploits during the Thirty Years’ War that has drawn the most attention among historians. It was in the Thirty Years’ War that Sweden came to be directly involved in the dealings of the rest of Europe, breaking from its usual preference for staying in the periphery. It was through this involved action that Sweden gained its place among the great powers of Europe. There is much to be said by historians on the military endeavors of Gustavus Adolphus and his role in the Thirty Years’ War. An overwhelming majority of the studies on Gustavus Adolphus in the Thirty Years’ War have been written in German, Swedish, Danish, Russian, Polish, or numerous other European languages.

We have been to [illegible] (only the untraveled say Saint to Church or City) + were amazed at its size + magnificence + the music was sublime! But to go back to where Papa left you.

    ‘SONGS OF THY TRIUMPH’ A SHORT HISTORY OF GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS COLLEGE by Steve Waldhauser ’70 PART ONE: BEGINNINGS (1862–1890) In May of 1862, the congregation of Swedish Lutheran immigrants in Red Wing, Minn., appropriated 20 dollars so that their pastor, Eric Norelius, could equip their church for parochial school purposes. The other dozen congregations of the Minnesota Conference, part of the new Augustana Synod organized in 1860, were crying for trained pastors and teachers and, as Norelius was already influential among Swedish Lutherans in Minnesota, the conference now looked to him to instruct not only the children of his own congregation but also “older” students that other congregations might send to him. From that unlikely education experiment came Gustavus Adolphus College. The first “older” student at Norelius’s school was Jonas Magny (formerly Magnuson), a 20-year-old from the Chisago Lake Swedish community who arrived in Red Wing in late September 1862, joined the Norelius household, and was in fact the only student throughout the fall. Five students from the Carver congregation arrived in December after Norelius sent word to fellow pastors that “a school for Swedes” would open in the winter, and by the middle of January 1863, enrollment had reached 11 (not counting his own congregation’s children). The school was coeducational from the beginning, some 20 years before any other Augustana institution could be called the same. The school was a short-term project for Norelius, but it was successful enough that the Minnesota Conference was willing to adopt it. The conference voted to relocate the school in East Union, a rural settlement in Carver County, and referred the matter to the Augustana Synod, which already was supporting Augustana College and Theological Seminary in Chicago.
