Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Baron Friedric Trenck: Containing His Adventures, and Cruel and Excessive Sufferings During an Imprisonment of Ten Years, in the Fortress of Magdeburg I was born at Konigsberg, in Prussia, February 16, 1726, of one of the most ancient families of the country. My father, who was a knight of the military order, lord of Great Scharlack, Schakulack, and Meicken, and major-general of cavalry, died in 1740, after having received eighteen wounds in the Prussian service. My mother, descended from the house of Derschau, was daughter of the president of the high court at Konigsberg; she had two brothers, generals of infantry, and a third minister of state, and postmaster general at Berlin. After my father´s death in, 1740, she married Count Lostange, lieutenent-colonel in the Kiow regiment of cuirassiers, with whom, leaving Prussia, she went and resided at Breslaw. I had two brothers and a sister: my youngest brother was taken by my mother into Silesia; the other was a cornet in the last-named regiment of Kiow; and my sister was married to the only son of the aged General Valdow, who quitted the service, and with whom she lived in Brandenburg, on his estates. My ancestors, both of the male and female line, are famous in the chronicles of the north, among the ancient Teutonic knights, who conquered Courland, Prussia, and Livonia.
