# The Death of Wallenstein

By Friedrich Schiller.

"The Death of Wallenstein" by Friedrich Schiller is a play completed in 1799. It forms the final part of Schiller's Wallenstein trilogy, depicting the downfall of the powerful general Albrecht von Wallenstein during the Thirty Years' War. As Wallenstein secretly negotiates with Sweden against the Holy Roman Emperor, loyalties fracture among his commanders. Torn between duty, ambition, and love, his allies must choose sides. The drama builds toward a tragic conclusion as betrayal closes in and Wallenstein's fate is sealed in the winter of 1634. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
