German Michel.
Legend has it that Tserclaes's Spanish trops were awed by his bravery and called him "Deutscher Michel".

The first author to mention it was Philipp Andreas Oldenburger in 1668, in a book published under the pseudonym "Philipp Andreas Burgoldensis". Oldenburg's reputation as a scientist was somewhat controversial during his lifetime.
