Bernhard

Bernhard, Duke of Weimar (1604-1639) was a great German general. He distinguished himself on the Protestant side in the Thirty Years' war; fought under the standard of Gustavus Adolphus; held command of the left wing at the battle of Lützen, and completed the victory after the fall of Gustavus. He died at Neuburg, as alleged, without sufficient proof, by poison.
