Friedrich Wilhelm Quirin von Forcade de Biaix〔Lange, Page 91 ((in German) )〕〔Lehmann, Band 1, Page 34, Nr. 245 ((in German) )〕〔Blažek, Part 3, Page 131 ((in German) )〕 ( * 10 February 1698, Berlin;〔〔König, Band 1, Page 430 ((in German) )〕 † 23 March 1765,〔〔 Berlin〔〔〔) was a Royal Prussian Lieutenant General,〔〔Heinsius, Issue 52, Page 241, Nr. V ((in German) )〕 the eldest son of another Royal Prussian Lieutenant General,〔 who was an early Huguenot immigrant to Brandenburg-Prussia and a descendent of the noble family of Forcade. He was one of King Frederick the Great's most active and most treasured officers.〔Zedlitz-Neukirch, Band 2, Page 179 ((in German) )〕〔Zedlitz-Neukirch, Band 4, Page 390 ((in German) )〕 Twice wounded and left for dead on the battlefield, he covered the name Forcade de Biaix in glory. Together with his wife, he fathered 23 children.〔 He was Regimentschef of the 23rd Prussian Infantry Regiment,〔〔Gieraths, Band 8, Page 79 ((in German) )〕 recipient of the Kingdom of Prussia's highest military order of merit for heroism, Knight of the Order of ''Pour le Mérite'',〔〔 Knight of the Order of the Black Eagle,〔〔〔〔Ledebur, Band 17, Page 43 ((in German) )〕 Canon (''Domherr'') of Havelberg,〔〔 Castellan (''Drost'') in Neuenrade in the County of Mark,〔 Lord Seneschal (''Amtshauptmann'') of Zinna,〔〔〔〔 President of the ''Ober-Collegium Sanitatis'' in Berlin and Lieutenant governor of Breslau.〔 In 1851, his name was immortalized on the north facing commemorative plaque on the ''Equestrian statue of Frederick the Great'' in Berlin. ''Friedrich Wilhelm Quirin von Forcade de Biaix'' is referred to in some historical sources, as the ''Marquis de Biaix''.〔〔Priesdorff, Band 1, Page 354, Nr. 371 (in German)〕 As with his father, there is no evidence that he was ever a Marquis. Biaix was not a marquisate, but instead a noble fief ''(see also Manorialism)''. == Early life == ''Friedrich Wilhelm Quirin von Forcade de Biaix'' was the eldest son of Lieutenant General ''Jean de Forcade de Biaix'' (1663–1729) and his wife, the Baroness ''Juliane von Honstedt'', daughter of the Major General Baron Quirin von Honstedt,〔〔Zedlitz-Neukirch, Band 2, Page 436 ((in German) )〕〔Zedlitz-Neukirch, Band 5, Page 245 ((in German) )〕 from Württemberg but in the service of Prussia. His baptismal Godfather was none less than Frederick III, Elector of Brandenburg and ''King in Prussia'' in 1698, who became Frederick I of Prussia the first King of Prussia aka ''"the Mercenary King"'' in 1701. His father was a Huguenot religious exile〔〔König, Band 1, Page 429 ((in German) )〕 who was among the earliest arrivals in Brandenburg-Prussia,〔Chaix d'Est-Ange, Tome 18, Page 316 ((in French) )〕 after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes by the Edict of Fontainebleau〔Zedlitz-Neukirch, Band 4, Page 390 ((in German) )〕 in October 1685. Unlike his father and his eldest brother, choosing to not abjure from his Calvinist beliefs, he left his native Béarn in France for Brandenburg-Prussia, where Frederick I of Prussia, then Elector of Brandenburg, was not only encouraging, but actively facilitating, Huguenot immigration. Little else is known about his early life. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Friedrich Wilhelm Quirin von Forcade de Biaix」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
