Charles de l'Ostange

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Count Charles de l'Ostange (also: Karl von Lostange ; † 1703 ) was an electoral Brandenburg colonel and chief of the cuirassier regiment No. 6 .

Life

After the edict of Nantes was repealed, he came to Brandenburg with other refugees via Frankfurt. Presumably he had already served in the French army, because Elector Friedrich III. appointed him colonel and gave him a cuirassier regiment. At the burial of Elector Friedrich Wilhelm , he carried the banner of the Principality of Barth in 1688.

He married Agnes Judith von Spaen (1658–1731), daughter of Field Marshal Alexander von Spaen, in Prussia in 1698 . The couple had children before he died in 1703.

His son Karl († April 21, 1744) became lieutenant colonel in the cuirassier regiment No. 12 and married Maria Charlotte von Derschau (1714–1747), widowed von der Trenck. She was also the mother of Friedrich von der Trenck .
