Van wie was Ebba Brahe?

Ebba Magnusdotter Brahe (16 March 1596 – 5 January 1674) was a Swedish countess, landowner, and courtier. She is foremost known for being the love object of King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, who wished to marry her prior to his own marriage, a plan which was however never realized. Their love affair, the subject of fiction, has become famous in Swedish romantic history and is documented in their preserved correspondence.

Gustaaf II Adolf (Stockholm, 9 december 1594 – bij Lützen, 6 november 1632), ook wel genoemd Gustaaf Adolf de Grote of de Leeuw van het Noorden, was koning van Zweden van 1611 tot aan zijn dood in 1632. Hij was de zoon en opvolger van Karel IX van Zweden en van Christina van Sleeswijk-Holstein-Gottorp en de vader van koningin Christina.
