- Short Description
- "Johann Tserclaes, Count of Tilly (Dutch: Johan t´Serclaes Graaf van Tilly; German: Johann t´Serclaes Graf von Tilly; February 1559 – 30 April 1632) was a field marshal who commanded the Catholic League´s forces in the Thirty Years´ War. From 1620–31, he had an unmatched and demoralizing string of important victories against the Protestants, including White Mountain, Wimpfen, Höchst, Stadtlohn and the Conquest of the Palatinate. He destroyed a Danish army at Lutter and sacked the Protestant city of Magdeburg, which caused the death of some 20,000 of the city´s inhabitants, both defenders and non-combatants, out of a total population of 25,000. Tilly was then crushed at Breitenfeld in 1631 by the Swedish army of King Gustavus Adolphus. A Swedish arquebus bullet wounded him severely at the Battle of Rain, and he died two weeks later in Ingolstadt. Along with Duke Albrecht von Wallenstein of Friedland and Mecklenburg, he was one of two chief commanders of the Holy Roman Empire’s forces in the first half of the war." - (en.wikipedia.org 12.01.2020)
