<p>After <a href="page.php?w=Gustavus_Adolphus">King Gustav II Adolf</a> was killed at the <a href="page.php?w=Battle_of_L%C3%BCtzen_%281632%29">Battle of Lützen (1632)</a>, the Swedish crown passed to his daughter, <a href="page.php?w=Christina_of_Sweden">Christina</a>. However, she was only five years old at the time, and so power was exercised in her name by the <a href="page.php?w=Privy_Council_%28Sweden%29">Council of the Realm</a>.</p><p>
