Conrad von Rosen auf Klein-Roop (born September 29, 1628 in Straupe in Livonia , † August 3, 1715 in Bollweiler in Alsace ), Count of Bollweiler and Ettweiler, knight of the royal orders, was a Livonian general in French service, marshal of France and Ireland .

Life

Conrad was the fourth of nine children of Fabian I von Rosen (1590–1633) on Klein-Roop and Raiskum ( Livonia ) and Sophie von Mengden on Idsel and Maikendorf. He entered Swedish military service in 1644 but had to leave the country after killing an officer in a duel. He went to France and entered in 1651 - at the instigation of the French General Reinhold von Rosen (1605–1667), a relative - as an ensign in French military service.

Rosen rose rapidly. It was in 1669 Colonel and in 1674 for his contribution in the Battle of Seneffe for des armées du roi Brigadier promoted. In 1677 he became Maréchal de camp . He was wounded during the siege of Cambrai . In 1678 he served under Marshal Créqui in Germany. In 1681 he converted to Catholicism and was rewarded with the title of count. In 1682 he fought under the Marquis de La Trousse in Piedmont and in 1686 became Commander-in-Chief in Languedoc .

In 1682 made him Louis XIV. To Lieutenant général and gave him command of the auxiliary contingent that with King James II. From England to Ireland went. King Jacob was so convinced of Rosen's bravery that he appointed him Marshal of Ireland in 1689.

After the defeat on the Boyne by William of Orange , Rosen returned to France, became Mestre de camp général of the cavalry and served under the Dauphin in Germany. In 1691 he was involved in the siege of Mons , commanded the right wing in the Battle of Neerwinde in 1693 and was present at the siege of Charleroi . In the same year he became commander of the Order of St. Ludwig .

On January 20, 1703 , King Louis gave him the marshal's baton and allowed him to sell the position of Mestre de camp general to the Marquis de Montperoux, who paid him a large sum for it. In 1705, Rosen received the royal knightly orders (i.e. the Order of St. Michael and the Order of the Holy Spirit ) and from then on stayed mostly at his castle in Bollweiler in Alsace, where he died on August 3, 1715 at the age of 87. He was buried there in a chapel that he had built in 1693 and given a prieuré simple .
