biography

He was the son of Count Jacobus Emanuel de Capris and his wife Anna Carolina de Seyssel.

Andreas Anton von Capris seems to have come to Bavaria through his maternal relative, the later Lieutenant Field Marshal Jean Claude de Seyssel (1695–1761), who appears as captain of the Munich Life Guard as early as 1726 and has an epitaph at the Frauenkirche. He also entered the Bavarian government and in 1745 became chamberlain to Elector Maximilian III. Joseph . He also held this office with his uncle, Archbishop of Cologne Clemens August von Bayern .

As a military man, Count Capris advanced to major general in the Bavarian Army and held the rank of Prime Lieutenant of the Trabanten Leib-Garde (later Hartschier Corps ). He was also a Knight of the Order of St. George from 1750 .

On February 7th, Andreas Anton von Capris married Maria Theresia Countess von Spreti (1746–1818), daughter of Lieutenant Field Marshal Hieronymus von Spreti and his wife Maria Caroline Charlotte born. von Ingenheim and aunt (sister of the father) of the later major general Maximilian von Spreti (1766-1819). Only the daughter Maria Anna (* 1774), who married Count Karl Theodor von Yrsch (or Irsch) on Gimpern, came from the marriage. Their son Eduard von Yrsch (1797–1862) acted as chief master of ceremonies and court marshal of King Ludwig I.

Capris died in 1776 and he was given an epitaph on the outside of the Munich Frauenkirche . His widow was a lady of the Star Cross .

The relatives of Andreas Anton von Capris also include the grandson of the field marshal lieutenant Jean Claude de Seyssel mentioned above, Carl Theodor von Seyssel d'Aix (1780–1863). His nephew Edwin owned the Palais Seyssel d'Aix in Munich.
