Battle of Lützen (1632)
The Battle of Lützen was one of the most important battles of the Thirty Years War. It took place on 16 November 1632, between an Imperial army under Albrecht von Wallenstein and a combined Swedish-German army led by Gustavus Adolphus. Generally viewed as a narrow Swedish victory, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and the battle is now chiefly remembered for the death of Gustavus.
