David Sarsfield

David Sarsfield (1663–1710) was an Irish soldier noted for his service in the Jacobite Army during the Williamite War in Ireland.

After going into exile as part of the Flight of the Wild Geese, he later served in the Spanish Army.

After first living in France, David Sarsfield subsequently went to Spain where he was made Governor of the strategic fortress of Badajoz.

His daughter Catalina Sarsfield married a German adventurer Theodore von Neuhoff, who later briefly ruled the Kingdom of Corsica.

She is sometimes mistakenly said to be the daughter of the Jacobite hero Patrick Sarsfield, although he was only a distant cousin.
