When I was looking for information about Ulrik son of Christian IV of Denmark I found this gem.
In 1625-1626 under the Danish campaign Elector John George I of Saxony offered mediation between the Emperor and the Danish king, both was positive toward the attempt, but Christian IV was persuade by the Dutch to turn down the offer.
What if he had accepted the offer? What would he have gotten? At least he would have gotten Bremen-Verden for his second son Frederik*, beside that I could see the Lower Saxon Circle would have been made into a de facto vassal of Denmark and the last ecclesiastical fiefs in Lower Saxony would likely have been secularised, while Christian would have stopped his "support" of Frederik of Palatinate, and would have stopped the campaign, which would have removed Lower Saxony and Denmark from the war.
How would the Thirty Years' War have turned out if Christian had taken this offer?
*the later Frederik III of Denmark
