“Wrangel, Karl Gustav, Greve”的意思、由来-百科全书

Wrangel, Karl Gustav, Greve

Swedish military officer

born Dec. 13, 1613, Skokloster, near Uppsala, Swed.

died June 25, 1676, Spieker, Rügen Island, off Pomerania 【Germany】

Swedish soldier who succeeded Lennart Torstenson as Swedish military and naval commander during the Thirty Years' War (1618–48) and subsequent Baltic conflicts.

Wrangel began his military career in Germany during the Thirty Years' War and by 1638 was a major general. He participated in many victories and won a naval victory off Fehmarn (1644). In 1646 he became Swedish commander in chief. He proved an able strategist in operations largely coordinated with those of the French commander, Turenne; when the future Charles X of Sweden took his place as commander in chief, Wrangel became governor of Swedish Pomerania.

During Charles XI's minority, Wrangel sat on the Regency Council (1660–72), first as grand admiral and, from 1664, as grand marshal and president of the War Board. He favoured the French alliance (1672) against the Dutch. As governor-general and general, Wrangel gained a huge fortune, which he spent on, among other things, valuable books and invested in palaces such as Skokloster Castle. As a general, he successfully took part in the military campaigns against Poland, Brandenburg, and Denmark in the 1650s.
