Karl Florentin was the first son of the wild and Rhine Count Friedrich Magnus zu Salm-Dhaun-Neufville (1605–1673) and his wife Marguerite Thésart (Taisart, Tissart, dame des Essars et de Lasson, baronne de Tournebu , 1619–1670), born to a niece of Cardinal Richelieu . Like his father, the governor of Sluis (1642), of Maastricht (1648) and general of the cavalry from 1665, he embarked on a military career in the course of which Wilhelm III. of Orange him in 1674 - during the Dutch-Prussian War - to lieutenant general ( luitenant-generaal ) appointed. On December 14, 1657, Karl Florentin married Marie Gabrielle de Lalaing (approx. 1640–1709) in Maastricht, the daughter of the Count of Hoogstraeten and Hornes († 1643) and Isabelle de Ligne (1623–1678). Marie Gabrielle gave birth to six children:

genealogy

Karl Florentin, together with his father, is considered to be the founder of the "Flemish" line or the Neufville line of the Salm family , known as the " Rheingrafen von Salm". His second son Wilhelm Florentin founded the branch "Salm-Hoogstraeten" on the basis of the maternal inheritance Hoogstraeten , from which the on January 14, 1739 Charles VI. dignified house Salm-Salm emerged . Karl Florentin's third son Heinrich Gabriel founded the “Salm- Leuze ” branch , from which the Salm- Kyrburg house, which was ruled on February 21, 1743 by Charles VII , arose.

trendsetter

After his title of nobility, Rheingraf , a type of trousers popular until the 18th century was called Rheingrafenhose (French: Rhingrave ). It is reported that Karl Florentin stayed at the court of Louis XIV around 1660 as envoy of the States General and caused a sensation there with his skirt-like trousers. This is how wearing this type of trousers emerged as a fashion trend . Louis XIV wore the Rheingrafenhose on ceremonial occasions.

Tomb

A statue with the image of Karl Florentin was created by the Flemish sculptor Pieter Scheemaeckers (1640–1714). She dominates a baroque tomb in the Sint-Catharinakerk (St. Catherine's Church) in Hoogstraten .
