POCOYIZED: SWINBORNE GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS

Erik (like Cassio, he is based upon Loras Tyrell,
but I made him blond).

Hilda (another Anna expy)

Erik in bridal attire (since breastplates could be found on
Pocoyize, I realized I had to do this cast and that of Othello)

Hilda in bridal gown

Mary Elinore (sic!) The red gown comes from a
portrait of her.

The Queen of Sweden in her mourning dress

Gustavus Adolphus, in his trademark doublet

Tilly (looks like the real one): had he served the right cause...

Wallenstein: either kaiser or nothing!

Pappenheim. Gottfried zu Pappenheim.
I do much more than stand by Tilly or Wallenstein as a
decoration: I'm second in command!

The elusive Lorelei

THE LATEST BOOK I HAVE READ

Gustavus Adolphus: a Historical Poem. 
By Frederic Swinborne.
1884.

Against the backdrop of my favourite strategist's many encounters with the Catholic enemy ranks (from landing to Lützen, through Leipzig and the Lech), Swinborn narrates the love story of Rhineland damsel Hilde and Swedish lieutenant Erik. Is the young officer condemned to die on the battlefield where his liege lord will also meet an untimely fate? I won't tell you readers, so you will have to find out by reading this detailed and thorough epic, that gets inside the minds of Gustavus Adolphus, Tilly, and Wallenstein while giving accounts of the everyday lives of officers, privates, and camp followers in those troubled times.
