James Lundie was in Swedish service from at least 1647 onwards. He was commandant in Bremervörde by 1648. He then served as lieutenant colonel and chief of an infantry squadron in 1655. Lundie was court-martialled on the surrender of Bremervörde, but he was cleared of all charges on 10 January 1657. Lundie married Anna Wlizabeth Eicken. Their son James Henry [SSNE 2998] was also a soldier. His widow Anna petitioned for outstanding wages owed to her late husband in 1661.
