  Bernhard of Saxe-Weimar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bernhard, duke of Saxe-Weimar (1604 - July 18, 1639), a celebrated general in the Thirty Years' War, was the eleventh son of John, duke of Saxe-Weimar.
At the Alte Veste he displayed the greatest courage, and at the Battle of Lützen (1632), when Gustavus was killed, Bernhard assumed the command, killed a colonel who refused to lead his men to the charge, and finally by his furious energy won the victory at sundown.
Bernhard had in the first instance received definite assurances from France that he should be given Alsace and Hagenau, Würzburg having been lost in the debacle of 1634; he now hoped to make Breisach the capital of his new duchy.
