Historical background
GERMANY - DUCHY OF BRUNSWICK LUNEBOURG - CHARLES WILLIAM FERDINAND
(1780-1806)
Charles Guillaume Ferdinand (9/10/1735 - 10/11/1806) succeeded Charles I (1735-1780) in 1780. He is the nephew of Frederick II of Prussia. He first distinguished himself during the Seven Years' War in the service of Prussia. It was he who signed the manifesto of July 25, 1792, threatening the Legislative Assembly and the people of Paris. This manifesto led to the capture of the Tuileries on August 10, 1792 and the arrest of the royal family before their trial and the execution of the King and Queen in 1793. It was Charles Guillaume Ferdinand de Brunswick, General-in-Chief of the Austro -Prussians, who faced the French of Dumouriez and Kellermann at Valmy on September 20, 1792. In 1806, he resumed command of the Prussian army and was beaten at Jena and mortally wounded at Auerstaedt (October 14, 1806). Its States were dismembered to form part of the Kingdom of Westphalia. His son Guillaume was killed in Waterloo in 1815.
