Jean Philippe Gauthier

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Captain Jean Philippe Gauthier was French and a supporter of the Bavarian people's uprising in 1705 .

Christian Probst reports that Gauthier and Oberleutnant Johann Clanze , who also served as an interpreter, went to Tölz on December 20, 1705 to join the rebels. Gauthier had pretended to be King Louis XIV's emissary and presented a presumably copied royal seal for authentication. His information was incorrect because he was an infantry officer until the dissolution of the Electress Therese Kunigunde's bodyguard .

Gauthier had left the Oberland rebels in good time before the defeat and had shown up with Matthias Aegidius Fuchs in Braunau am Inn . Here, too, he appeared again as a secret envoy from France and from Elector Maximilian II. Emanuel and declared that he had to “give the Paursch creation the most kind permission”. Since he was clearly seen through immediately, he and Fuchs could not gain any influence in Braunau. Government officials had Gauthier brought across the border to Salzburg .

A few months later, Gauthier met Fuchs, who was leaving the country after the Battle of Aidenbach , in Venice at the Electress's. Both traveled to the Netherlands to see the elector. Gauthier returned to Bavaria with Max Emanuel and received a company in the Kurprinz regiment.
