(Grandchildren like to hold on strongly to what was once acquired by their ancestors.)
Johan Tserclaes, Count of Tilly (1559-1632), more popularly known as �General Tilly�, is a frequent subject on Diesinger beer steins. General Tilly was Commander of the Catholic Holy League during the 30 Year�s War against the Protestants, winning several important victories. However fate turned against him in 1632 when he was wounded during a battle with Swedish forces along the Lech River in Germany and died soon afterward in Ingolstadt.
