Elected King of Poland on the death of his father Sigismond, set up aclaim to the Swedish crown, and had a party in the kingdom capable offorming a dangerous faction. Sweden was unable singly to support the warin Germany; and saw the allies, whom she had hitherto kept on her sideby her authority and the eclat of her victories, ready to fall off: theweaker, in consternation at the death of their leader, wished for peace;the more powerful, such as the Dukes of Pomerania, the Elector ofBrandenbour...g, the Dukes of Meklenbourg, and some others, jealous of theauthority usurped by the Swedes in Germany, would acknowledge them onlyas allies, and not as the head of the Protestant party. The Duke ofBrunswick was already levying men in his own name, and intended to forma separate party composed of the Circle of Lower Saxony. The Elector ofSaxony carried his views still farther. He wanted to have the supremedirection of affairs; and, if thwarted, there was reason to apprehend hewould soon relinquish the common cause.
