Matthias Aegidius Fuchs
Matthias Aegidius Fuchs was the Bavarian war commissioner under Maximilian II Emanuel .
According to Christian Probst, Matthias Egidius Fuchs probably came from the Upper Palatinate (possibly from Cham ). At the time of the Bavarian people's uprising, he was around 45 years old and had an eventful life in the Bavarian army . As a member of the military administration and supply apparatus (field war engineer), Fuchs participated in the Turkish wars, the campaigns in Piedmont from 1691 to 1696 and in southern Germany from 1702 and 1703, and in 1704 was appointed war commissioner at the Oberwarskommissariat in Munich.
After the occupation of Bavaria by the troops of Emperor Leopold I, Fuchs remained in office and in March 1705 accompanied an imperial infantry regiment on its march through to Italy.
After occupying the Munich Rent Office, he took the oath of allegiance to Emperor Leopold I. In August 1705, he accompanied imperial troops on their march through Bavaria to Italy. In the autumn of 1705 he decided to leave the imperial service and go to see Elector Max Emanuel in the Netherlands, as many former Bavarian military personnel did at the time. The former Bavarian captain Matthias Mayer went with Fuchs.
Fuchs probably arrived in Braunau am Inn on December 4, 1705 . There he met the leaders of the Landesdefension .
