Tilly, Count of (1559-1632), a distinguished Bavarian soldier. He saw service in the Spanish army and in Austria. At the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War he was the commander of the Bavarian army. In 1630 he succeeded Wallenstein in command of the forces of his most Catholic majesty Ferdinand II. He was an aggressive soldier. He won no less than thirty-six victories. He suppressed the Protestants in Bohemia, drove Christian of Denmark out of Saxony back into his own country, and defeated Gustavus Adolphus at Magdeburg. In a later battle with the Swedes, he was defeated with loss. In his last battle he fell wounded mortally. His loss was as serious to the Catholic cause as was that of Gustavus to the Protestants. His statue is found in the Bavarian Hall of Fame. See WALLENSTEIN; GUSTAVUS.
