Thadden Family
''Von Thadden'' is a German ''Uradel'' family with its roots in Eastern Pomerania (Pomerelia). History A ''miles'' (knight) Geroslaus (''Jarislav'') Taditz ("son of Thaddeus") was first mentioned in a 1334 register of the State of the Teutonic Order in the lands of the former Samboride dukes of Pomerelia at Danzig. The family's ancestral seat was Tadden (present-day Tadzino in the Polish Pomeranian Voivodeship). The dynasty's territory was part of Lauenburg and Bütow Land, which after the Order's defeat and the Second Peace of Thorn in 1466 was held by the Imperial Dukes of Pomerania as a Polish fief. Early on, the family split into two branches with different arms: The Nesnachow Branch: first mentioned in the course of the 1493 enfeoffment of one Matthies with the lordship of Nesnachow (present-day Nieznachowo) north of Lauenburg (Lębork) by Duke Bogislaw X of Pomerania. The seats of the second branch were Tadden-Enzow and Rybienke in the east of Lauenburg, but also in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Prussian Army
The Royal Prussian Army (1701–1919, german: Königlich Preußische Armee) served as the army of the Kingdom of Prussia. It became vital to the development of Brandenburg-Prussia as a European power. The Prussian Army had its roots in the core mercenary forces of Brandenburg during the Thirty Years' War of 1618–1648. Elector Frederick William developed it into a viable standing army, while King Frederick William I of Prussia dramatically increased its size and improved its doctrines. King Frederick the Great, a formidable battle commander, led the disciplined Prussian troops to victory during the 18th-century Silesian Wars and greatly increased the prestige of the Kingdom of Prussia. The army had become outdated by the beginning of the Napoleonic Wars, and France defeated Prussia in the War of the Fourth Coalition in 1806. However, under the leadership of Gerhard von Scharnhorst, Prussian reformers began modernizing the Prussian Army, which contributed greatly to the defea ...

Treaty Of Bromberg
The Treaty of Bromberg (, Latin: Pacta Bydgostensia) or Treaty of Bydgoszcz was a treaty between John II Casimir of Poland and Elector Frederick William of Brandenburg-Prussia that was ratified at Bromberg (Bydgoszcz) on 6 November 1657. The treaty had several agreements, including the Treaty of Wehlau, signed on 19 September 1657 by the Brandenburg–Prussian and Polish–Lithuanian envoys in Wehlau (Welawa, now Znamensk). Thus, the Treaty of Bromberg is sometimes referred to as treaty of Wehlau-Bromberg or Treaty of Wehlau and Bromberg ( pl, traktat welawsko-bydgoski). In exchange for military aid in the Second Northern War and the return of Ermland (Ermeland, Warmia) to Poland, the Polish king granted the Hohenzollern dynasty of Brandenburg hereditary sovereignty in the Duchy of Prussia, pawned Draheim (Drahim) and Elbing (Elbląg) to Brandenburg and handed over Lauenburg and Bütow Land to the Hohenzollerns as a hereditary fief. The treaty was confirmed and internationally ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Brandenburg-Prussia
Brandenburg-Prussia (german: Brandenburg-Preußen; ) is the historiographic denomination for the early modern realm of the Brandenburgian Hohenzollerns between 1618 and 1701. Based in the Electorate of Brandenburg, the main branch of the Hohenzollern intermarried with the branch ruling the Duchy of Prussia, and secured succession upon the latter's extinction in the male line in 1618. Another consequence of the intermarriage was the incorporation of the lower Rhenish principalities of Cleves, Mark and Ravensberg after the Treaty of Xanten in 1614. The Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) was especially devastating. The Elector changed sides three times, and as a result Protestant and Catholic armies swept the land back and forth, killing, burning, seizing men and taking the food supplies. Upwards of half the population was killed or dislocated. Berlin and the other major cities were in ruins, and recovery took decades. By the Peace of Westphalia, which ended the Thirty Years' War i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
