wallenstein
Wallenstein, born Albrecht Wenzel Eusebius von Wallenstein, was a Bohemian military leader and politician during the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) in Europe. He became known as the Duke of Mecklenburg and was a leading commander of the armies of the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II. Wallenstein became known for his strategic military techniques and his ability to fund his armies. His power and influence, however, became a threat to the emperor and led to his assassination in 1634. The term "Wallenstein" could also refer to any of the dramatic works written about him by Friedrich Schiller.

Wallenstein
Wallenstein is a medium-weight German-style board game designed by Dirk Henn and published by Queen Games in 2002. Though set during the Thirty Years' War, Wallenstein should not be confused with a complex wargame. Rather, it has the feel of a light strategy game with the familiar Euro elements of area control and resource management mixed in. As such, it has a wide range of appeal that attracts wargamers and non-wargamers alike.
The Nuttall Encyclopedia
Wallenstein
general of the Imperial army in the Thirty Years' War, born in Bohemia, of a Protestant family, but on the death of his parents was, in his childhood, adopted and educated by the Jesuits, and bred up in the Catholic faith; bent on a military life, he served first in one campaign and then another; rose in imperial favour, and became a prince of the empire, but the jealousy of the nobles procured his disgrace, till the success of Gustavus Adolphus in the Thirty Years' War and the death of Tully led to his recall, when he was placed at the head of the imperial army as commander-in-chief; drove the Saxons out of Bohemia, and marched against the Swedes, but was defeated, and fell again into disfavour; was deprived of his command, charged with treason, and afterwards murdered in the castle of Egra; he was a remarkable man, great in war and great in statesmanship, but of unbounded ambition; is the subject of a drama by Schiller, in three parts (1583-1634).
