In 1611 the young Gustav Adolf Vasa ascended the throne of Sweden as Gustav II Adolf. Along with the throne, the king inherited a disastrous war with Denmark, which he ended by signing the onerous Peace of Knared. The terms included the obligation for Sweden to pay a one million rixdaler reimbursement to redeem the strategically important fortress at Alvsborg. With an empty treasury, the king turned to his fellow Protestants in the United Provinces for financial assistance.
