COUNTDOWN TO LÜTZEN II: GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS AT CAILIN MOAT AND IN THE REACH

The logo for this year's Countdown to Lützen: a "Keep Calm" logo for Gustavus Adolphus.

This post is consecrated to the Westerosi rulers that remind me the most of Gustavus Adolphus: young dashing warrior kings with hopeful ambitions and enough charm, but who died untimely and violent deaths. 
Let's see how many parallels more can be drawn between their lives and that of the Vasa, shall we?
