Gustav Adolf Memorial, Lützen, Burgenland district, Saxony-Anhalt

Gustav Adolf, King of Sweden, was an inportant military leader in the Thirty Year War, helping the German protestant army against the catholic forces. He was killed during the Battle of Lützen on November 16, 1632 (November 6, 1632 according to the Julian calendar used by the protestants).

During the battle, around noon the gunsmoke became so intense that the short-sighted Gustav Adolf lost contact to his own troops, was surrounded by enemies and shot into the left arm, rendering him unable to control his horse. According to eyewitless reports, the injury was so severe that bones were sticking through his armor. His few remaining companions were trying to get him out of the situation, but they ran into a squad of catholic curassiers. One of them, Moritz von Falkenberg, who knew Gustav Adolf in person because he was released by him from war captivity only days before, shot Gustav Adol from behind through the shoulder bade into the lung, whereupon the king fell from the horse. The horse dragged him a distance away until the stirrup broke loose. The catholic soldiers stabbed the king several times at various body parts and finally shot him in the head. The body was looted and retreived late in the evening and brought to the church of Meuchen (also a memorial site today) after the Swedish troops had won a close victory. Gustav Adolf was embalmed in Weißenfeld and transferred to Stockholm where he was buried.

Not long after the battle, a boulder was placed at the site of the king’s death. The inscription “GA 1632″ was added at an unknown point in time.

A few years before the 200th anniversary of Gustav Adolf’s death, the magistrate of the town of Lützen decided to build a chapel over the stone. However, the crown prince of Prussia, Friedrich Wilhelm, intervened with own plans, suggesting a massive memorial. Finally, the design was handed over to architect Friedrich von Schinkel. The final design was made from cast iron and inaugurated on November 16, 1637, the 205th anniversary of the Battle of Lützen. The inscriptions say:

Our faith is the victory that has overcome the world. At this place Gustav Adolf was killed in battle on November 6, 1632. He led The Lord’s wars. 1. Sam. 25, 28

In 1907, an art nouveau chapel was added.

One of the greatest female figures of the Mexican Independence (which celebrated its 205th anniversary yesterday) is Leona Vicario. Born Maria de la Soledad Leona Camila Vicario Fernandez de San Fernadez de San Salvador, was raised by her uncle after her parents’ death in 1807 (three years before the independence). She was an only child and as such, her parents took great interest in her education. Her father was Gasper Martin Vicario, a Spanish merchant and her mother was Camila Fernandez, born in Toluca. Leona had access to the best tutors and always kept up to date with the latest ideas. This was the age of the Enlightenment, so not only did she learn domestic and other arts reserved to women such as dance, music and poetry, but also philosophy, science and politics. Her uncle however, didn’t share her ideals and if he knew about her movements, he probably would have never let her live alone. But thankfully he didn’t find out until later when she was arrested and questioned about her involvement with the movement known as “Los Guadalupes”. This was a secret society that Leona was part of and belonging to one of the well-to-do families in her area, she made sure that the insurgents received the latest news about the royal forces. She also supplied them with clothes, food, money and took in fugitives. Her influence was such that in 1812 she convinced some soldiers to switch sides and fight for the revolutionary cause. It’s not clear when or how much the Spaniards knew about her involvement but it is safe to assume that by this point when she convinced those soldiers to switch sides and led them to the camp of rebel Ignacio Lopez Rayon that she became a prime suspect. When she was on her way to the state of Michoacan, she was arrested and locked in the convent of Belen de las Mochas. This was an era where a female penitentiary wasn’t yet as established as it is now, and since women were supposed to be submissive and dependent on their men; the closest thing for a jail to many was a nunnery. Now, don’t think that because this was a nunnery she lived great in comparison to the other guys who were in real jails. These women were watched day and night and given that the church favored Spain, their treatment wasn’t all that good. After she was interrogated, she managed to defend herself really well, in a way where she didn’t deny or confirm anything of what they were accusing her of (even though they did have proof of it). She was sentenced to remain Belen de las Mochas and all her goods were confiscated by the Crown. Two months later in May of 1813, her rebel friends helped her escape to her intended destination where she married her cousin Andress Quintana Roo. A year later she assisted the Congress of Chilpancingo where Morelos (who many saw as Hidalgo’s successor since he was killed off in 1811) drafted the first constitution. It would be a constitution that Mexico would never see, but many of the things there were revolutionary for their day. Leona was praised by many of the insurgents, including her husband who was a fellow insurgent. When the fighting was still on, she gave birth to her first daughter, Genoveva under extreme circumstances. Picture yourself as Leona, a girl who’s had an opportunity not many women had –even women of her social status- and you are on the run with your husband and pregnant and you have no doctors, no anesthetics, potions or anything to help you during the labor! Not a pretty picture is it? If you’ve ever heard the phrase ‘sunk low’, for Leona it was. She probably felt scared. Morelos had died two years before, meeting the same end as Miguel Hidalgo. Many of their friends were being captured, tortured and killed. They had to run away because they were being threatened and people were throwing insults at them for supporting the independence. They knew they could be killed at any moment. They had risked everything for the cause, and yet Leona didn’t give up. After she gave birth in a cave, her old friend Ignacio came and acted as godfather to her little girl. Sadly, less than a year later, she and her husband were captured. Leona and Andres decided to plea guilty this time so they could have a mercy on them and be given “indulto” which was a form of mercy free pass so all the charges could be dropped. The authorities accepted and released them under close surveillance. When she learned about the Cadiz Constitution –which was the new Spanish Constitution- she wrote a poem both praising it and also saying to be weary of it. Many of the principles there were influenced by the new ideas that were taking Europe by storm and from which Leona and the first rebels had been highly influenced by. She wished that when Mexico became independent that it would have a constitution similar to it, but some of the conservative forces were not happy with this and some decided to back some of the last rebels, making Mexico instead a country that would resemble the old world. Mexico did become a free and independent nation, but some of the ideals that the men and women fought for got lost as the century went on and some of us still wonder when are we going to see our birthplace be that land they dreamed of? Leona did get her happy ending for what is worth. When Mexico became an independent nation, Congress restored all of her goods and gave her more property. Leona didn’t fade in the background, she continued to be very vocal and involved in politics along with her husband whom she defended when President Bustamente intended to send him to jail for criticizing his campaign. Although she hasn’t figured a lot in ‘most famous women in history’ or ‘herstory’ she should be remembered because although some historians have pointed out that she wasn’t all for women’s rights as other women were, she was still very vocal in defending women, especially in stripping the stereotype of women going to war fighting for their men, or women being only good when they were damsels in distress, or the worst one which Lucas Alaman wrote about: Women being active in politics and involved in the movement for independence because of their sons, husbands, and fathers since they had no real thought of their own. To this she told Alaman in a letter: "Confiese Sr. Alamán que no sólo el amor es el móvil de las acciones de las mujeres; que ellas son capaces de todos los entusiasmos y que los sentimientos de la gloria y la libertad no les son unos sentimientos extraños; antes bien vale obrar en ellos con más vigor, como que siempre los sacrificios de las mujeres, sea el cual fuere el objeto o causa por quien las hacen, son desinteresados, y parece que no buscan mas recompensa de ellos, que la de que sean aceptadas. Por lo que a mí toca, sé decir que mis acciones y opiniones han sido siempre muy libres, nadie ha influido absolutamente en ellas, y en este punto he obrado con total independencia y sin atender que las opiniones que han tenido las personas que he estimado. Me persuado de que así serán todas las mujeres, exceptuando a las muy estúpidas, y a las que por efecto de su educación hayan contraído un hábito servil. De ambas clases hay también muchísimos hombres." (Confess Mr. Alaman that love isn’t the only course of action that motivates women to do what they do, that they are capable of all the enthusiasms and feelings/desires of glory and liberty. That these feelings/desires aren’t strange to them. They act on these with more vigor. Because as always it seems that women’s sacrifices, whatever their objectives are, always go under-appreciated and they can never find any good reward except what is allowed to given to them. For what it concerns me, I can tell you that my actions and my opinions have always been my own and nobody has influenced me, and I have always acted as I pleased without having to think twice or ask anybody what they think about me. It is my persuasion that all women are like this, except the stupid ones and those who by their rearing have been made to be submissive. And you may also find many men who are of this disposition.) Leona died in 1842, after which she was declared Benemérita y Dulcísima Madre de la Patria (The Most Good and Sweetest Mother of our Land). Images: Leona Vicario as a young woman and at the end of her life. She was played by Irene Azuela in the mini-series "Gritos de Muerte y Libertad".

Sans Souci by Reinhard Zinabold Via Flickr: Sans Souci Palace Potsdam / Brandenburg / Germany Final resting place of King Frederick the Great On the morning of 17 August 1786, Frederick died in an armchair in his study at Sans Souci, aged 74. He left instructions that he should be buried next to his greyhounds on the vineyard terrace on the side of the corps de logis of Sans Souci. His nephew and successor Frederick William II instead ordered the body to be entombed next to his father in the Potsdam Garrison Church. Near the end of World War II, Hitler ordered Frederick's coffin, along with those of his father Frederick William I, World War I Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, and Hindenburg's wife Gertrud, to be hidden in a salt mine as protection from destruction. The United States Army relocated the remains to Marburg in 1946; in 1953, the coffins of Frederick and his father were moved to Burg Hohenzollern. On the 205th anniversary of his death, on 17 August 1991, Frederick's casket lay in state in the court of honor at Sans Souci, covered by a Prussian flag and escorted by a Bundeswehr guard of honor. After nightfall, Frederick's body was finally laid to rest in the terrace of the vineyard of Sans Souci – in the still existing crypt he had built there – without pomp, in accordance with his will. Following German reunification in 1990, Frederick's body was returned to the palace and buried in a new tomb overlooking the gardens he had created. Why people put potatoes on top of the grave of King Frederick the Great? Among his many accomplishments Frederick the Great also happened to introduce potatoes to Germany. He thought they were a great idea, and made a big production out of eating potatoes and smacking his lips enthusiastically at state dinners. Sometimes, when not fighting Austrians, he would visit towns and pass out potatoes. His endorsement worked, and potatoes became a staple crop in the nation.
