George Frederick of Baden-Durlach (30 January 1573 – 24 September 1638) was Margrave of Baden-Durlach from 1604 until his abdication in 1622. He also ruled Baden-Baden. He was the third son of margrave Charles II of Baden-Durlach and his second wife, Anna of Veldenz. He was the youngest of eight children and was only four years old when his father died. He succeeded his brother Ernest Frederick as margrave in 1604. He also continued his brother's occupation of Baden-Baden. George Frederick was a prominent member of the Protestant Union. He raised an army of 12,000 men at the beginning of the Thirty Years' War in 1618, and defeated the imperial troops of Tilly near Wiesloch in 1622. But a few days later he himself was defeated in Wimpfen, and his army was destroyed. In 1627 he joined the Danish army. He died at Strasbourg in 1638. == 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「Georg Friedrich, Margrave of Baden-Durlach」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
