LESLIE, ROBERT [SSNE 4695]
Text source
Robert Leslie is noted in Swedish service as colonel of the "old Scots regiment" in the early 1630s who was killed at Breitenfeld in 1631. If he was the colonel he was the same man as [SSNE 2932]. If not, and he was killed at Breitenfeld, he was probably an officer of more junior rank.
