Educated at the See also:court of See also:France, he served first in the See also:French See also:army and then in that of See also:Sweden. Baron de Goertz, See also:minister to See also:Charles XII., realizing Neuhof's capacity for intrigue, sent him to See also:England and See also:Spain to negotiate with See also:Cardinal See also:Alberoni. Having failed in this See also:mission he returned to Sweden and then went to Spain, where he was made See also:colonel and married one of the See also:queen's ladies-in-waiting.

Holland and See also:Italy, and at See also:Genoa he made the acquaintance of some Corsican prisoners and exiles, whom he persuaded that he could See also:free their See also:country from Genoese tyranny if they made him king of the See also:island. With their help and that of the See also:bey of See also:Tunis he landed in Corsica in See also:March 1736, where the islanders, believing his statement that he had the support of several of the See also:great See also:powers, proclaimed him king. He assumed the See also:style of Theodore I., issued edicts, instituted an See also:- ORDER

order of See also:knighthood, and waged See also:war on the Genoese, at first with some success. But he was eventually defeated, and See also:civil broils soon See also:broke out in the island; the Genoese having put a See also:price on his See also:head and published an See also:account of his antecedents, he See also:left Corsica in See also:November 1736, ostensibly to seek See also:foreign assistance. After trying in vain to induce the See also:grand See also:duke of See also:Tuscany to recognize him, he started off on his wanderings once more until he was arrested for See also:debt in See also:Amsterdam. On regaining his freedom he sent his See also:nephew to Corsica with a See also:supply of arms; he himself returned to the island in 1738, 1739 and 1743, but the combined Genoese and French forces and the growing strength of the party opposed to him again drove him to wandering about See also:Europe. Arrested for debt in See also:London he regained his freedom by mortgaging his " See also:kingdom " of Corsica, and subsisted on the charity of See also:Horace See also:Walpole and some other See also:friends until his See also:death in London on the 11th of See also:December 1756. His only son, See also:Frederick
(c. 1725-1797), served in the army of Frederick the Great and afterwards acted as See also:agent in London for the grand-duke of See also:Wurttemberg.
Frederick wrote an account of his See also:father's See also:life, Memoires pour servir a l'histoire de la See also:Corse, and also an See also:English See also:translation, both published in London in 1768. In 1795 he published a new- edition on Description of Corsica with an account of its See also:union to the See also:crown of Great See also:Britain.
