The Battle of White Mountain, 8 November 1620 ( Bílá hora is the name of White Mountain in Czech ) was an early battle in the Thirty Years ' War in which an army of 30, 000 Bohemians and mercenaries under Christian of Anhalt were routed by 27, 000 men of the combined armies of Ferdinand II, Holy Roman Emperor under Charles Bonaventure de Longueval, Count of Bucquoy and the German Catholic League under Johann Tserclaes, Count of Tilly at Bílá Hora, near Prague ( now part of the city ).

King Frederick and his military commander, Prince Christian of Anhalt, had organized a Protestant army of 30, 000 men ; Ferdinand countered with a force of 25, 000, many of them seasoned soldiers, under the expert leadership of Field Marshal Johann Tserclaes, Count of Tilly, a Catholic Spanish-Flemish nobleman.

As a result of his many years of professional experience he was greatly valued by King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, and was often assigned the most critical tasks, such as the defence of Neubrandenburg in 1631 ( where he was captured by the forces of Johann Tserclaes, Count of Tilly ) and command of the Sweden's most important military supply base in central Germany at Nuremberg in 1632.

In order to aid Ferdinand ( elected Holy Roman Emperor in 1619 ) against the Northern Protestants and to produce a balance in the Army of the Catholic League under Johann Tserclaes, Count of Tilly, Wallenstein offered to raise a whole army for the imperial service following the bellum se ipsum alet principle, and received his final commission on 25 July 1625.

Johann Tserclaes was born in February 1559 in Castle Tilly, Walloon Brabant, now in Belgium, then the Spanish Netherlands.

Johann Tserclaes was born into a Roman Catholic Brabantine family and after receiving a Jesuit education in Cologne, he joined the Spanish army at age fifteen and fought under Alessandro Farnese, Duke of Parma and Piacenza in his campaign against the Dutch forces rebelling in the Eighty Years ' War and participated in the successful Siege of Antwerp ( 1584 – 1585 ) in 1585.

Count Tilly, Johann Tserclaes then fought the Danish at the Battle of Lutter on 26 – 27 August 1626 in which his highly disciplined infantry charged the enemy lines four times whereupon they broke through, leading him to win decisively, and destroying more than half the fleeing Danish army ; as was uncharacteristic of warfare of the times.

While Adolphus landed his army in Mecklenburg and was in Berlin, trying to make alliances with the leaders of Northern Germany, Johann Tserclaes laid siege to the city of Magdeburg on the Elbe River, which promised to support Sweden.

This is a highly controversial event in Johann Tserclaes ’ career and historians still debate how much responsibility he bears for what happened.

Following Magdeburg, Johann Tserclaes engaged Gustavus Adolphus at the Battle of Breitenfeld on 17 September 1631, near the city of Leipzig, which Tserclaes had reached by laying waste to Saxony.
