Wallensteins Ermordung – Schlacht bei Nördlingen
Der Kaiser wertet die Ergebenheitsadressen der Generäle an Wallenstein als Hochverrat. Er entlässt seinen Oberbefehlshaber. Der Herzog von Friedland und seine Generäle werden in Eger, mit Billigung des Kaisers, ermordet. Die Mörder erhalten Belohnungen vom Kaiser. Im Mai brennen die Kaiserlichen Bautzen nieder, werden aber in der Nähe von Liegnitz geschlagen. Dagegen können sie Regensburg wieder einnehmen.

Das belagerte Nördlingen wehrt sich im August erfolgreich gegen die Truppen der Liga. Am 6. September besiegen diese, geführt von Ferdinand von Spanien und dem König von Ungarn, Erzherzog Ferdinand, die schwedisch-sächsischen Truppen unter Gustav Horn und Bernhard von Sachsen-Weimar in einer zweitägigen Feldschlacht. Der fast vollständige Verlust der Truppen und der gesamten Ausrüstung zwingt die Schweden zum Rückzug. Süddeutschland wird von ihnen aufgegeben.

Im Vertrag von Paris verpflichtet sich der französische König Ludwig XIII. zur Überlassung von Truppen und zu weiteren finanziellen Leistungen an die Schweden.

emperor regards the declarations of loyalty made by the generals to Wallenstein as high treason and dismisses his commander-in-chief. The Duke of Friedland and his generals are murdered in Eger with the emperor’s approval. Their killers receive rewards from the emperor. In May, the Imperial forces burn Bautzen but are defeated near Liegnitz. They are, however, able to recapture Regensburg.

In August, the besieged city of Nördlingen successfully resists the troops of the Catholic League. On September 6, the League’s forces, led by Ferdinand of Spain and the King of Hungary, Archduke Ferdinand, defeat the Swedish-Saxon troops under Gustav Horn and Bernhard of Saxe-Weimar in a two-day field battle. The almost complete loss of their troops and equipment forces the Swedes to retreat and abandon southern Germany.

Under the Treaty of Paris, King Louis XIII of France agrees to provide troops and additional financial support to the Swedes.
