Christian the Younger of Brunswick
Christian the Younger of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (20 September 1599 – 16 June 1626), known as der tolle Halberstädter (the daredevil from Halberstadt), was a German Protestant military leader during the early years of the Thirty Years' War. Christian fought in support of Frederick V of the Palatinate during the "Palatinate Phase" (1620-1623) of the war; his opponents were the forces of the Imperial House of Habsburg (led by Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II), Habsburg Spain, and the Catholic League. Christian was a member of the House of Welf, titular Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg and administrator of the Prince-Bishopric of Halberstadt According to the historian Herfried Münkler, Christian´s military exploits were motivated less by any deep attachment to the Protestant cause than by a love of adventure, a romantic imagination in which he saw himself in the chivalric tradition and a disdain for every form of traditional authority.
