Remembering Lützen

I thinking about to do an embroidery with inspiration  from the death day of one of my ancestors. Gustavus Adolphus became a King in the year 1611  (almost 400 years ago!) and died at this day 1632 in Lützen.

He was often dressed in lace, silk, linen, wool and - armour. And on top of that an arrowlike beard. The King Gustav II Adolf spent almost all his life in war. He was killed in Lützen and that day was misty. With all the weapons fired  it became a heavy fog from all the gunpowder.

I can see the mist flowing through the lace. The red blood over the silk. The armours metallic lustre digging deep down in the mudd after he was falling. Shoot in his breast.  Gunpowdergrey,  bloodred, gold, white lace, iron and the thin and light grey mist. His Royal colors was black and yellow. On the detail above there is also celestial blue.
On his wedding he wear a beautiful costume made of wool and silk with embroideries in gold from Hamburg
