After his failure to create leather cannons, he lightened his artillery carriages, which he would put under Torstenson's command.
After his failure to create leather cannons, he lightened his artillery carriages, which he would put under Torstenson's command. He signed the Truce of Altmark so he could start a campaign where his failure to relieve the siege of Magdeburg led to a horrific sack that brought him allies like John George I of Saxony. His second-in-command, Bernhard of Saxe-Weimar, rallied his men to take Windmill Hill in a battle in which this man's forces killed General (*) Pappenheim, but would go on to lose a later battle at Nordlingen. This man defeated the tercios of the Count of Tilly in one victory, and he was killed by the Imperial cavalry of Wallenstein while commanding his forces at another battle. For 10 points, name this general who won the battles of Breitenfeld and Lutzen during the Thirty Years' War, a King of Sweden nicknamed the Lion of the North.
