	Lennart Torstenson Summary
		Count Lennart Torstenson (August 17, 1603 - April 7, 1651) was a Swedish soldier and military engineer and the son of Torsten Lennartson, commandant of Älvsborg Fortress.
		The sudden death of Banér in May 1641 recalled Torstenson to Germany as generalissimo of the Swedish forces and Governor General of Pomerania.
		Torstenson was remarkable for the extraordinary and incalculable rapidity of his movements, though very frequently he had to lead the army in a litter, as his bodily infirmities would not permit him to mount his horse.
