About Lorens von der Linde

Baron Lorens von der Linde was a Swedish general and nobleman. After an education at Leiden University he joined a German army and commanded a Swedish regiment in the 1643–1645 Torstenson War. Linde fought in the 1645 Battle of Jankau and Siege of Brno and other actions in the remainder of the Thirty Years' War. He was appointed to the war council and Privy Council of Christina, Queen of Sweden in 1651 and made a baron in 1653. Linde retained his titles and roles under Christina's successor, Charles X Gustav, and became a close confidant of the new king. He accompanied Charles in the Northern War of 1655–1660 against the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and was placed in command of Swedish forces in Pomerania and Prussia. After Charles' death in 1660, Linde remained active on the war council and the privy council. He was made lieutenant field marshal in 1658 and field marshal in 1665.
