Karl Philipp von Wrede
Prince Karl Philipp von Wrede (April 29, 1767 – December 12, 1838), Bavarian field-marshal, was born at Heidelberg and educated for the career of a civil official under the Palatinate] government, but on the outbreak of the campaign of 1799 he raised a volunteer corps in the Palatinate and was made its colonel. This corps excited the mirth of the well-drilled [[Austrians with whom it served, but its colonel soon brought it into a good condition, and it distinguished itself during Kray's retreat on Ulm.
