Kurt Christoph von Königsmarck

Conrad or Kurt Christoph von Königsmarck (24 March 1634 – 31 October 1673) was a Dutch-Swedish military leader.

Königsmarck received an education despite the war and later joined the Swedish army.

In 1658 under Charles X command during the crossing over the frozen Great Belt Bridge to Funen he was caught by the Danes and was left free only after the Peace of Roskilde.

When 10,000 French troops under the command of François-Henri de Montmorency, duc de Luxembourg arrived over the frozen ice of the Hollandic Water Line from Woerden on 27 December 1672, he retreated to Leiden.

[1] Königsmarck was killed in the Siege of Bonn by an accidental cannon shot from friendly side at the age of 39.
