Battle Of Triebl
The Battle of Triebl (Třebel) took place on 22 August 1647 during the Thirty Years' War. Imperial cavalry under Raimondo Montecuccoli and Johann von Werth launched a surprise attack on the Swedish camp of Carl Gustaf Wrangel and inflicted 380, or more than 1,300, losses on them in exchange for 200–300 casualties. Both sides claimed victory after the battle. The Imperial attack helped convince Maximilian I, Elector of Bavaria to abandon the Truce of Ulm in September and rejoin the war on the Imperial side. Background On 17 July 1647, the defense of the imperial base Eger in Bohemia collapsed after attacks by the Swedish besiegers. The advance of the relieving Imperial army through western Bohemia had been delayed by waiting for the arrival of general Johann von Werth's defecting Bavarian troops, so that the Swedish general Carl Gustaf Wrangel had sufficient opportunity to prepare the defense of the southern approaches to Eger. Emperor Ferdinand III sometimes accompanied his t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Battles Involving The Holy Roman Empire
A battle is an occurrence of combat in warfare between opposing military units of any number or size. A war usually consists of multiple battles. In general, a battle is a military engagement that is well defined in duration, area, and force commitment. An engagement with only limited commitment between the forces and without decisive results is sometimes called a skirmish. The word "battle" can also be used infrequently to refer to an entire operational campaign, although this usage greatly diverges from its conventional or customary meaning. Generally, the word "battle" is used for such campaigns if referring to a protracted combat encounter in which either one or both of the combatants had the same methods, resources, and strategic objectives throughout the encounter. Some prominent examples of this would be the Battle of the Atlantic, Battle of Britain, and Battle of Stalingrad, all in World War II.

The position of ''rikshistoriograf'' (Swedish language, Swedish, known in Latin as ''historiographus regni'', i.e. ''Historiographer of the Realm'' or ''Royal Historiographer''), existed in Sweden from the early 17th century until 1834. The first appointment of a similar nature was that of the Dutch scholar Daniel Heinsius, appointed in 1618 by Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, Gustavus Adolphus to be ''historicus regni'', but it is not known if he did anything as part of this position. In the reign of Queen Christina of Sweden, Christina, several individuals were appointed either just "historiographer" or "historiographer royal", with occasionally several at the same time holding the position.
