Anton Simon of Boisdavid

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marquis Anton Simon von Boisdavid (also: Antoine-Charles Simon de Bois-David ) († 1706 in Celle ) was the ducal-cellic major general , chief of infantry regiment 2-A and, most recently, of the Reuter regiment R 3-B .

He came to Celle as a refugee in 1684. There he came into ducal service as major general and chief of infantry regiment 2-A.

When Hereditary Prince Georg Ludwig was sent to Hungary with auxiliary troops against the Turks in 1685 , Boisdavid was also there. There he also had a little argument with the then still young Prinz Eugen . In 1692 he led 6000 Cellian and Hanoverian troops with Prince Maximilian to Hungary as general field warden. In 1693 he succeeded Colonel Wissel, who had fallen at Neerwinde , and received his R 3-B Reuter Regiment. He fought in his own country and successfully defended Ratzeburg against the Danish field marshal von Wedel .

In 1705 the Cellian and Hanoverian troops were merged. Boisdavid handed his regiment over to Colonel Amaury de Farcy de Saint-Laurent and retired with 1,500 thalers. But he died in Celle as early as 1706.
