Carl Ewald von Rönne

In 1702, Rönne entered the Tsar's service on the basis of a contract with the Russian Prince Dolgorukov, and in 1703, he became colonel of a dragoon regiment that also bore his name.

He took part in the conquest of the cities of Narva and Tartu, defeating the Swedes under General Wolmar Anton von Schlippenbach.

In 1706, a 3,000-man raiding party under the command of Carl Ewald von Rönne attacked a 13,000-man unit of Count Potozki in Windau, Duchy of Courland and Semigallen (now Latvia) and routed them.

On February 10, 1709, Rönne and his unit of ten dragoon regiments repelled the attack of the Swedish forces under the command of Charles XII.

On April 12, 1709, Rönne's units were attacked by the numerically significantly larger troops of the Swedish general Carl Kruse.
