If you ever get to Prague, you should really hang around the old castlewall or the main square until Jiří Wehle pops up. The man is a legit wizard with the instrument.

In 1611, during the Kalmar war between Denmark and Sweden, the Swedish King Charles IX challenged Christian IV, the King of Denmark, to a duel. After learning that the Danish king was close to the Front, Charles has decided he wants to settle this war the old fashioned way and sends a message to King Christian. "…så slå vi thig nu thet sista och yttersta medel före, äffter vi märkia thu est här personligen staddh, att thu på det att yttermera blodh för den skuld icke må utgjutas, begifver dig uthi eigen person efther the gamble Göthers loflige bruk och sedvane uti en kamp med Oss på slätta marken med två av dina Krigsmän riddarmessige af adel uthan argelist, der vela vi ock uthi eigen person möta tig sjelf tredie. Vi för vår eigen person uti våre blåtte kläder uthen någet kiöris eller harnesk allena med en stormhatt på hufvudet och vår sidevärje i handen. Äfvenså kom du för din persom emot Oss. De andre tu, som vi vele hafve med Oss, skall båda vara uti deras fulla harnesk och den ene hafva två pistoler och sidevärje hos sig, och den andre en muskett och en pistol med sin sidevärje. Låth ock tu de två, som med tig följer, vara lika beväpnade.” Translation ”After noticing that you are here personally, we have resorted to the ultimate measure to avoid further bloodshed. You personally should, according to the old laws and customs of the Geats meet Us on the flat ground with two of your warriors, noble knights without treachery. There We will meet with you in person. In Our case in but Our clothes, no cuirass or breastplate, only a high hat on Our head, wielding Our side sword. Like that you should come against Us. The other two We want to bring shall both be in their full armours and one should have two pistols and side sword and the other a musket and a pistol and a side sword. Let those two who will follow you be armed the same.” A messenger is sent to king Christian who sends him back with a reply. Christian's message is one long insult and starts with telling Charles IX that he will be held accountable before god for his many ill deeds. Christian then calls the idea ”meget latterligt” very laughable and writes ”You are a frail old man; it suits you better to stay next to a warm stove than fight with Us. You have more need for a good medicus who could cure your brain than meeting Us in a duel. He then calls Charles an old fool. No duel takes place and both kings leave the frontlines soon after. Considering that Charles IX dies from a stroke just two months later it was probably for the best. Fader Movitz has a new favorite as of 01:31 on May 6, 2019 |

Have to correct your translation here.  While "stormhatt" is a 19th century name for top hat, back in the day it used to mean helmet - it can be translated as "assault hat".

a "fun" genetics exercise sometimes done in university courses was calculating the inbreeding coefficient for old charles 2.0 there- the inbreeding coefficient, btw, is a kind of numerical estimate for the % of genes pairs expected to be completely identical in a person as a consequence of their parents sharing a common ancestor, given that a person receives one gene pair from their mother and another from their father... it's a simple calculation that only uses a person's pedigree and typically gives a low end estimate of the actual % of identical gene pairs, assuming the pedigree is accurate anyway, it turns out charles ii was actually more inbred than offspring from either a full brother-sister coupling OR a parent-child coupling, clinically he's interesting because he probably suffered from 2 simultaneous rare genetic disorders - a kidney disorder and a pituitary hormone deficiency iirc - that manifested to produce his baffling array of symptoms you might not be able to tell by inspection, mostly because the chart itself uses vague terms like inbreeding level 2, but philip 3.0 was nearly as inbred as charles ii, being just ~4% less inbred using the pedigree estimate - he's the second most inbred person there charles 1.0, also known as don carlos, isn't on the tree but he was the offspring of philip ii, who is on the tree, and his first wife, mary of portugal, who was also his double-first cousin - don carlos was also just ~4% less inbred than charles ii
