"saved the empire"

Tone here seems a little less than neutral. 2603:8000:C33E:C37B:693E:C53A:BC3B:2FE9 (talk) 03:08, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge

I propose to merge the contents of the Walter Butler (died 1634) article to this article. And redirect that title here. To Walter Butler of Roscrea. I propose this because, as far as I can see, both titles cover the same biographical subject. (A man, called Walter Butler, associated with the Butlers of Roscrea, who went to Germany, was involved in the assassination of Wallenstein and died in December 1634). If they are not the same man, then there are some incredible coincidences at play.... Guliolopez (talk) 18:24, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per WP:MERGEREASON. Looks like the same person. Itzcuauhtli11 (talk) 21:53, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
