COunt
Mansfield
,
Generall
of
the
King
of
Bohemia's
Army
in
the
Field
,
hauing
receiued
intelligence
,
that
the
Baron
de
Tilly
(
Generall
of
the
Bauarian
Army
)
sought
all
the
meanes
hee
could
deuise
,
to
bring
the
remainder
of
the
Lower
Palatinate
(
which
yet
continueth
in
the
Kings
hand
)
vnder
the
Bauarian
subjection
;
intending
,
before
all
else
,
to
take
in
Heydelburgh
,
the
chiefest
Towne
thereof
,
and
(
for
that
end
)
surprized
some
other
smaller
Townes
,
as
Hilspach
and
Neckergemont
,
distant
a
little
mile
from
Heydelburgh
,
and
lying
vpon
the
Necker
:
with
more
then
Turkish
or
barbarian
cruelty
hee
did
there
put
them
all
to
the
Sword
,
making
no
spare
either
of
Man
or
Woman
,
old
or
young
,
performing
this
in
such
outragious
manner
;
that
hee
and
the
Spaniards
had
set
downe
their
rest
and
full
account
,
to
haue
the
whole
Lower
Palatinate
(
in
a
very
short
space
)
subjected
vnder
their
obedience
.
Hereupon
Count
Mansfield
,
acconpanied
with
Sir
Horatio
Vere
,
worthily
determined
,
with
all
their
powers
to
withstand
their
intrusion
;
and
therefore
made
ordination
of
their
Armies
(
being
in
readines
)
to
march
neere
,
and
to
resist
the
said
De
Tilly
.
But
then
considering
,
that
Purlach
,
the
Marquesse
of
Baden
,
being
their
neighbour
,
not
hauing
as
yet
shewne
himselfe
,
which
side
he
fauoured
and
inclined
vnto
,
they
iudged
it
very
fit
and
conuenient
,
before
they
presumed
on
the
enterprise
;
to
mooue
the
said
Marquesse
(
as
their
friend
and
Neighbour
)
to
lend
his
helping
hand
,
so
Christianlike
and
necessary
a
businesse
duely
considered
,
against
the
precedent
barbarian
cruelty
.
When
the
noble
Marquesse
,
with
a
valiant
and
heroyick
spirit
,
shewed
himselfe
willing
so
to
doe
:
vpon
a
Military
Councell
first
holden
,
it
was
concluded
,
that
the
said
Marques
should
quarter
himselfe
on
the
frontiers
of
the
Palatinate
,
along
by
the
Bayliwicke
of
Bretten
,
and
so
farre
as
to
Winxcen
,
a
small-Emperiall
Towne
vpon
the
Necker
,
to
the
intent
,
that
if
the
Enemy
came
to
make
his
retreat
there
:
both
his
owne
Countrey
and
that
of
Wertenbergh
,
might
by
him
bee
freeed
and
defended
,
against
the
foresaid
Bauarian
Army
,
which
mustred
it selfe
together
from
Kreyckaw
,
towards
the
aforesaid
Towne
of
Wisloch
,
a
place
of
good
and
great
aduantage
,
for
him
that
could
winne
first
possession
thereof
,
by
reason
of
the
narrow
passages
,
and
a
small
Riuer
running
by
it
.
While
they
were
seriously
imployed
about
this
busines
,
Count
Mansfield
the
Generall
was
prepared
to
march
forward
,
intending
to
passe
ouer
the
Rhine
,
and
set
vpon
the
said
Bauarians
:
On
a
sudden
,
the
King
of
Bohemia
himselfe
in
person
(
in
very
apt
time
,
&
before
noone
)
came
that
day
to
Germersheim
,
hauing
formerly
past
through
France
,
Loraine
,
and
the
Garrisons
of
Leopoldus
and
the
Spaniards
,
in
vnknowne
and
disguised
apparell
.
There
he
found
an
Ambassador
,
that
had
bin
sent
from
the
Infanta
,
whose
onely
message
was
,
to
intreat
and
perswade
the
said
Count
Mansfield
,
to
leaue
&
forsake
the
King
of
Bohemia
;
whereto
he
returned
a
rough
answer
,
and
so
sent
him
away
,
resoluing
to
proceed
on
in
the
former
intended
enterprise
.
Count
Mansfield
hauing
taken
good
order
,
for
defence
of
the
places
belonging
to
the
Palatinate
,
along
by
the
riuer
of
Rhine
:
his
forces
&
military
preparations
,
which
were
on
this
side
of
the
Rhine
,
he
caused
to
March
directly
towards
the
Enemy
,
who
lay
encamped
in
the
way
to
Kieyckaw
,
vpon
a
Mount
,
and
in
the
Vineyards
hard
by
the
Towne
of
Wisloch
,
where
hee
had
planted
sixe
Pieces
of
Ordinance
,
and
wherewith
(
at
the
first
)
he
shot
at
the
King
of
Bohemia's
forces
,
which
was
on
Thursday
in
the
Euening
,
but
did
them
no
hurt
.
In
the
meane
while
,
the
Kings
Dragons
skirmished
with
the
Enemy
,
and
tooke
some
of
them
Prisoners
:
but
they
could
not
get
to
the
Enemies
quarter
,
in
regard
of
the
narrow
passages
,
wherefore
because
it
was
night
;
they
were
constrained
to
retire
into
Mengelsheim
,
a
Village
distant
halfe
a
mile
from
thence
,
where
now
they
lodge
.
The
next
day
being
the
17.
day
of
Aprill
(
the
day
of
Battaile
)
the
Army
being
raunged
in
good
order
for
Fight
,
the
Vanguard
marched
(
led
by
the
Duke
of
Weymar
,
Limstar
,
Obeitrant
,
and
the
Earle
of
Ortenberg
,
)
before
Noone
towards
the
Enemy
,
as
hoping
to
set
vpon
him
.
But
the
Enemy
hauing
aduantage
of
the
Countryes
scituation
(
which
was
no
meane
helpe
to
him
)
set
furiously
on
them
with
all
his
Regiments
,
and
in
such
sort
,
as
,
although
they
carryed
themselues
valiantly
:
yet
after
they
had
long
withstood
the
Enemies
great
power
,
&
done
them
much
harme
;
they
were
forced
to
retire
with
losse
of
about
45
men
.
Captaine
Berlenger
being
one
among
them
.
And
because
the
way
was
so
straight
and
narrow
,
and
the
Horse
paced
close
together
in
the
retreat
,
the
Switzers
Regiment
was
somewhat
hard
prest
on
with
losse
of
about
25
men
These
are
all
the
men
that
were
lost
on
the
Kings
side
,
in
the
first
Fight
and
retreat
.
The
enemy
being
puft
vp
with
pride
,
vpon
this
small
aduantage
and
successe
,
followed
them
,
and
changed
the
place
of
his
Campe
,
ouer
taking
(
in
the
retrait
)
a
wagon
with
two
sicke
Switzers
in
it
,
that
could
not
soone
enough
shift
for
themselues
.
And
to
make
apparence
of
his
rage
and
crueltie
,
himselfe
set
fire
to
the
wagon
,
that
they
might
endure
the
more
mercilesse
death
.
Now
he
perswaded
himself
vpon
this
poore
retrait
,
that
he
had
already
obtained
the
victory
;
which
made
him
crie
out
in
a
brauerie
:
Go
on
,
go
on
,
march
on
ward
,
for
they
are
ours
,
they
are
all
ours
.
And
although
the
weather
was
exceeding
foule
,
yet
notwithstanding
he
vsed
such
diligence
,
that
he
got
the
means
to
place
his
Ordenance
on
a
hillock
beyond
Meugelsheim
,
and
in
such
a
conuenient
place
,
as
he
shot
from
thence
into
the
Kings
army
,
but
yet
did
them
no
hurt
,
because
(
from
thence
)
they
could
not
well
see
it
.
After
noone
,
Count
Mansfield
the
Generall
,
appointed
the
army
to
march
from
Meugelsheim
aforesaid
,
and
to
take
a
conueent
place
behind
the
said
village
,
in
order
of
battell
,
where
likewise
the
Ordenance
was
planted
on
a
place
of
good
advantage
,
to
hurt
the
enemie
.
He
perceiuing
that
the
Kings
forces
were
gone
from
the
said
village
,
became
verily
perswaded
that
they
were
fled
and
gone
,
as
possessed
with
no
meane
error
and
feare
.
And
this
perswasion
was
the
more
confidently
embraced
,
because
Count
Mansfield
had
set
the
sayd
village
on
fire
;
which
was
done
by
him
to
no
other
end
,
but
,
by
meanes
of
the
smoke
,
to
muffle
the
enemyes
sight
,
for
the
better
clouding
of
his
army
,
that
the
forme
and
condition
thereof
might
not
be
discerned
,
vntill
he
had
settled
it
in
a
conuenient
place
for
the
battell
.
No
sooner
was
the
Generall
gone
from
the
village
,
but
the
enemy
came
&
tooke
it
,
although
he
was
to
make
his
way
through
a
narrow
passage
,
and
likewise
ouer
a
small
bridge
,
vpon
which
,
not
aboue
fiue
or
sixe
horsemen
could
ride
in
ranke
;
yet
he
made
such
haste
,
that
he
brought
foure
peeces
of
ordenance
beneath
the
said
village
,
&
planted
them
on
a
small
hillocke
.
There
also
he
caused
his
Regiments
to
passe
ouer
the
said
bridge
,
to
pursue
the
King
of
Bohemiaes
armie
;
which
hee
thought
was
partly
put
to
flight
,
because
from
thence
he
could
not
discerne
it
.
So
that
all
the
chiefe
Commanders
placed
themselues
in
the
forefront
of
the
battell
,
to
expresse
their
forwardnesse
and
to
win
bootie
.
When
the
King
of
Bohemiaes
Armie
was
ordered
in
due
forme
for
battell
,
the
King
himselfe
and
the
Generall
Mansfield
rode
round
about
it
,
exhorting
them
to
valiant
&
manly
behauiour
,
and
to
win
againe
with
a
sprightfull
recouerie
,
the
honor
lost
at
Wittenberg
by
Prague
.
Count
Mansfield
like
a
braue
Generall
,
marching
in
the
front
of
the
Armie
,
once
more
moued
his
souldiers
to
carie
themselues
boldly
and
couragiously
,
for
now
they
had
time
best
fitting
for
it
,
when
in
the
Kings
owne
sight
and
presence
they
might
make
rare
expression
of
their
valour
as
often
before
(
in
diuers
good
opportunities
)
they
had
worthily
done
.
And
now
the
King
himselfe
was
royally
resolued
to
fight
in
person
with
them
;
not
doubting
but
(
by
Gods
help
)
he
should
haue
the
victory
.
So
he
caused
the
Vanguard
to
march
on
,
being
led
directly
vpon
the
enemie
;
&
one
of
his
ordenance
hauing
twise
discharged
conueniently
on
the
enemie
,
the
said
Vanguard
made
a
valiant
assault
;
yet
seeming
as
if
they
retired
againe
,
the
enemie
pursued
;
but
were
so
suddenly
and
fiercely
assailed
by
the
rest
of
Count
Mansfields
forces
,
as
they
were
enforced
to
a
disordered
retyring
,
hoping
thereby
to
saue
themselues
:
but
by
reason
of
the
little
bridge
,
and
so
strict
narrownesse
of
the
passage
,
within
a
quarter
of
an
houres
space
,
or
thereabout
,
the
enemy
found
himselfe
so
confounded
and
ouerthrowne
,
that
he
lost
aboue
2000
men
in
the
field
,
as
the
prisoners
(
among
which
were
diuers
principall
Officers
,
as
the
Sergeant
Maior
,
the
Prouost
Generall
,
Harsels
Colonell
of
Wersbergh
,
Lieutenant
of
the
troupes
of
horse
,
and
many
other
officers
)
themselues
confesse
.
The
enemy
lost
eight
Cornets
,
and
among
them
two
great
Standards
or
Banners
,
one
of
white
Damaske
,
wherein
were
these
words
:
In
Domino
sperantes
,
in
to
non
confundantur
.
The
other
Standard
was
of
red
Damaske
,
hauing
on
the
one
side
a
blacke
Eagle
,
and
on
the
other
side
the
Armes
of
Bauaria
,
with
the
Golden
Fleece
round
about
it
,
and
vnder
it
was
written
,
Adiutorium
Domini
sit
inimîcis
terror
.
In
a
third
great
Cornet
,
much
spoyled
,
there
stood
Fortune
;
but
it
was
so
torne
and
totterd
,
that
the
Motto
could
not
be
read
.
There
were
also
six
Ensignes
of
footmen
found
,
but
so
much
spoyled
with
raine
and
mire
,
that
they
could
not
be
knowne
.
Besides
,
they
found
a
great
number
of
horses
,
good
store
of
gold
,
siluer
,
and
other
stuffe
.
Afterwards
,
there
arose
vp
some
few
fouldiers
from
among
the
dead
bodies
,
and
one
among
the
rest
was
De
Tillies
Chamberlain
,
sore
wounded
,
who
being
demanded
,
where
his
Maister
was
,
answered
,
If
he
be
not
among
the
dead
bodies
,
he
is
sore
wounded
;
for
he
had
bin
by
him
in
the
Vanguard
hauing
there
receiued
some
wounds
.
In
the
body
of
the
battel
,
there
were
many
Commanders
slain
,
&
4
peeces
of
ordnance
taken
from
them
.
It
is
written
out
of
the
army
,
that
Henrick
Maximilian
,
Baron
of
Papenheim
,
an
Apostat
,
was
also
slaine
.
The
victory
being
thus
won
,
the
Kings
army
stood
in
order
of
battell
till
nine
of
the
clocke
at
night
,
in
which
time
the
King
himselfe
visited
the
Regiments
with
a
chearfull
countenance
,
thanking
them
for
their
valiant
cariage
in
that
notable
accident
.
After
that
,
he
retired
and
marched
with
the
Vanguard
to
Langebrucken
,
a
burnt
village
,
from
whence
(
after
he
had
refreshed
himselfe
about
two
houres
,
and
written
certaine
letters
,
which
he
sent
by
Post
to
his
friends
,
to
let
them
vnderstand
his
victory
)
he
went
to
Brussell
.
And
Generall
Mansfield
with
the
Rereguard
,
two
houres
and
an
halfe
after
,
followed
him
,
and
ariued
there
about
breake
of
day
.
The
prisoners
freely
acknowledge
,
that
according
to
mans
iudgement
,
and
the
situation
of
their
camp
,
it
was
reputed
impossible
for
them
to
lose
the
battell
:
but
they
ascribe
it
to
the
permission
of
God
,
that
would
haue
it
to
be
so
.
During
this
battell
,
there
were
many
notable
things
considered
,
First
,
that
although
Count
Mansfield
thought
it
conuenient
that
the
King
should
retire
himselfe
into
a
place
of
safetie
;
yet
that
he
would
needs
be
there
personally
,
and
marched
at
the
head
of
the
Rereguard
,
to
leade
the
same
,
and
to
supply
their
places
that
had
entred
into
the
battell
.
Besides
,
that
the
Princes
,
Earles
&
other
Lords
of
qualitie
(
which
after
shall
be
named
)
did
so
valiantly
behaue
themselues
in
that
battell
,
that
they
returned
from
it
with
their
swords
all
besmeared
with
their
enemies
bloud
,
and
were
sorie
for
nothing
more
,
but
that
the
battell
lasted
no
longer
.
Two
brothers
chanced
to
know
each
other
in
the
fight
;
namely
,
Lieutenant
Berhen
,
that
tooke
his
brother
prisoner
,
who
serued
the
Duke
of
Bauaria
:
and
another
souldier
of
Count
Mansfields
army
also
tooke
his
brother
prisoner
,
who
serued
the
Bishop
of
Wirtsburgh
.
Bauariaes
Ordenance
,
though
they
were
often
discharged
,
did
no
hurt
with
any
shot
they
made
.
In
this
battell
there
were
no
more
then
fifteene
souldiers
on
the
Kings
side
slaine
.
Lastly
,
during
this
fight
,
it
rained
extremely
,
and
the
ground
thereby
with
the
horses
trampling
was
so
deepe
and
slippery
,
that
the
horses
could
hardly
recouer
themselues
out
of
it
:
and
a
great
Rainebow
was
seene
ouer
the
body
of
the
army
.
The
newes
of
this
ouerthrow
being
brought
to
the
Garisons
left
in
Wisloch
,
Sintzen
,
Hilspach
,
Steynach
,
and
others
which
the
Bauarians
held
,
in
all
haste
made
them
to
leaue
them
,
and
to
runne
away
.
But
part
of
them
fell
into
the
hands
of
the
Marquis
of
Badens
souldiers
,
and
were
so
closely
followed
,
that
150
of
them
were
slaine
,
and
300.
taken
prisoners
.
The
rest
of
the
Bauarian
army
is
yet
by
Count
Mansfield
speedily
pursued
;
so
that
it
is
certaine
that
the
towne
of
Heydelberg
is
not
wholy
relieued
from
being
inclosed
.
The
God
of
battles
to

eight
thousand

ten
thousand
foote
,
being
on
the
way
for
marching
into
the

comming
about

,
to

there
the

,
vnder

Anhalts
command
,
and
some
of
Graue
Henricke
van
den
Berghs
Souldiers
came
thither
to
preuent
this
passage
.
But
the
Duke
of
Brunswicke
perceiuing
his
purpose
,
withdrew
his
forces
to
a
place
of
good
conueniencie
,
and
getting
behinde
them
,
placed
his
horse
in
a
wood
with
eight
peeces
of
Ordnance
,
hereupon
the
Spaniards
beganne
to
charge
the
footemen
Souldiers
very
hotely
,
which
they
pollitickely
perceiuing
drew
themselues
still
backeward
,
till
at
the
last
they
came
to
their
owne
Ordenance
,
but
when
they
had
the
enemy
within
reach
of
their
shot
,
they
then
brauely
gaue
fire
,
and
the
Dukes
horse
being
diuided
into
two
wingges
,
they
entred
side-wayes
among
them
,
and
breaking
their
Battle
,
forced
them
to
flight
:
which
flight
,
the
Bauarian
horse
,
consisting
of
about
fiftie
Cornets
of
horse
:
and
sixeteene
of
them
were
slaine
in
the
fierce
pursuite
:
then
tenne
of
their
Cornets
were
taken
,
and
the
foote
men
being
sixe
thousand
strong
the
greater
part
of
them
were
slaine
,
with
sixe
of
their
Ensignes
taken
,
which
in
victorious
manner
were
brought
into
Lipstadt
.
The
Duke
of
Brunswicke
pursuing
his
victorie
,
marched
the
next
day
to
Guesken
,
which
he
ingirt
about
,
and
shot
balls
of
wild-fire
into
into
it
;
at
which
time
all
they
which
fled
out
of
it
were
slain
,
and
the
rest
burnt
.
But
the
souldiers
which
escaped
out
before
,
chose
rather
to
bee
slaine
,
then
there
to
be
burnt
.
After
this
vpon
the
15.
of
Maie
,
the
king
of
Bohemia
with
his
army
in
order
of
battle
marched
from
Gemershcime
to
Hagenaw
to
raise
the
siege
before
it
,
which
the
Arch
Duke
Lepoldus
vnderstanding
presently
sent
1000
horse
men
,
&
some
footmen
to
Wiisenbergh
a
rich
towne
lying
in
the
way
betweene
Hagenaw
&
Germersheime
to
take
the
same
,
and
thereby
to
giue
the
king
somewhat
to
do
,
&
to
stay
him
,
but
those
horsemen
vpon
the
17.
of
Maie
were
suddenly
surprized
by
the
Earle
of
Mansfield
,
and
so
dealt
withall
,
that
very
few
of
them
escaped
away
to
carry
newes
thereof
to
the
Arch
Duke
,
who
at
that
time
did
the
best
hee
could
before
Hagenaw
to
take
it
,
whereof
hee
doubted
not
,
the
day
before
hauing
taken
in
some
of
their
trenches
,
and
determined
the
next
day
to
assault
the
towne
,
but
hee
was
in
such
a
feare
at
the
hearing
of
that
vnexspected
newes
,
that
without
further
delay
he
presently
raised
vp
his
siege
before
Hagenaw
,
in
manner
of
flying
away
,
thinking
to
carry
his
Artillery
to
Boschwiler
ouer
the
Rhine
,
and
so
to
saue
it
;
but
the
Earle
of
Mansfield
following
him
at
the
heeles
,
he
was
forced
to
leaue
the
Cannon
shot
behinde
him
with
his
amunition
and
carriage
,
but
the
king
got
not
aboue
two
or
three
of
his
peeces
,
the
rest
were
sunke
in
the
Riuer
Rhine
and
in
the
Marshes
,
with
much
labour
thought
to
get
out
againe
,
but
most
of
the
amunition
being
a
great
quantitie
was
taken
,
and
Leopoldus
who
is
brother
to
the
Emperour
himselfe
hardly
escaped
from
the
Earle
of
Mansfield
,
being
pursued
by
him
vntill
Leopoldus
was
constrayned
with
all
speed
to
flie
to
the
riuer
of
Rhine
,
and
so
by
great
fortune
saued
himselfe
by
reason
a
smal
boate
lying
by
the
riuer
side
,
wherein
he
was
transported
ouer
,
but
if
this
good
fortune
had
not
hapned
vnto
him
hee
had
without
doubt
bene
taken
prisoner
.
Now
about
Dieshashem
many
of
the
Leopoldian
souldiers
retired
into
their
skonces
thinking
thereby
to
saue
themselues
,
but
the
kings
forces
so
speedily
inclosed
them
round
about
,
and
taking
the
boats
wherein
they
thought
to
haue
escaped
away
,
set
so
fiercely
vpon
them
,
that
the
most
part
of
them
were
slaine
in
the
place
,
the
rest
of
the
Leopoldians
most
part
of
them
fled
to
Elsas
,
Saberen
,
Multsheim
and
Datchsline
.

while
they
had

,
the
Duke
of
Saxon
that
serued
vnder
the
Emperor
went
out
of
the
towne
vnto
them
,
hoping
to
win
them
still
to
serue
the
Emperour
,
and
to
take
them
;
which
Ouertreut
vnderstanding
,
sent

him
,
and
taking
their
