 Albrecht von Wallenstein
Albrecht Wenzel Eusebius von Wallenstein, properly Waldstein, duke of Friedland, Sagan and Mecklenburg, German soldier and statesman, was born of a noble but by no means wealthy or influential family at Hermanice, Bohemia, on the 15th of September 1583.
Having established peace in Hungary, Wallenstein proceeded, in 1627, to clear Silesia of some remnants of Mansfeld's army; and at this time he bought from the emperor the duchy of Sagan, his outlay in the conduct of the war being taken into account in the conclusion of the bargain.
Wallenstein perfectly understood this, and he therefore accepted the emperor's decision calmly, gave over his army to Tilly, and retired to Gitschin, the capital of his duchy of Friedland.
