' The family of Pappenheim is of great antiquity. In the 12th See also:century they were known as the " marshals of Kalatin (Kalden)" ; in the 13th they first appear as See also:counts and marshals of Pappenheim, their right to the hereditary marshalship of the empire being See also:con-firmed to them by the See also:emperor See also:- LOUIS
- LOUIS (804–876)
- LOUIS (893–911)
- LOUIS, JOSEPH DOMINIQUE, BARON (1755-1837)

Louis IV. in 1334. After the See also:Golden See also:Bull of 1355 they held both marshalship and See also:castle of Pappenheim as fiefs of the Saxon electorate. In the 17th century the family was represented by several lines: those of Pappenheim (which held the margraviate of Stuhlingen till 1635), Treutlingen and Aletzheim, and the older branches (dating from the 13th and 14th centuries) of the marshals of See also:Biberach and of See also:Rechberg-Wertingen-Hohenreichen. Gottfried Heinrich, who belonged to the Treutlingen See also:branch, was the only one of this ancient and widely-ramified family to attain great distinction, though many other members of it played a strenuous, if subordinate, See also:part in the See also:history of See also:Germany. The family, mediatized under Bavaria in 1806, survives now only in the descendants of the Aletzheim branch.

Germany, and in 1623 became colonel of a See also:regiment of See also:cuirassiers, afterwards the famous " Pappenheimers." In the same year, as an ardent friend of See also:Spain, the ally of his See also:sovereign and the See also:champion of his faith, he raised troops for the See also:Italian war and served with the Spaniards in See also:Lombardy and the See also:Grisons. It was his See also:long and heroic See also:defence of the See also:post of See also:Riva on the See also:Lake of See also:Garda which first brought him conspicuously to the front. In 1626 See also:Maximilian of Bavaria, the See also:head of the League, recalled him to Germany and entrusted him with the suppression of a dangerous insurrection which had broken out in Upper See also:Austria. Pappenheim swiftly carried out his task, encountering a most desperate resistance, but always successful; and in a few See also:weeks he had crushed the See also:rebellion with ruthless severity (actions of Efferdingen, See also:Gmunden, Vocklabruck and Wolfsegg, 15th—3oth See also:November 1626). After this he served with See also:Tilly against See also:- KING

King See also:Christian IV. of See also:Denmark, and besieged and took Wolfenbtittel. His See also:hope of obtaining the See also:sovereignty and possessions of the evicted See also:prince was, after a long intrigue, definitely disappointed. In 1628 he was made a count of the empire. The See also:siege and See also:storm of See also:Magdeburg followed, and Pappenheim, like Tilly, has been accused of the most See also:savage See also:cruelty in this transaction. But it is known that, disappointed of See also:Wolfenbuttel, Pappenheim desired the profitable sovereignty of Magdeburg, and it can hardly be maintained that he deliberately destroyed a prospective source of See also:wealth. At any See also:rate, the See also:sack of Magdeburg was not more discreditable than that of most other towns taken by storm in the 17th century. From the military point of view Pappenheim's conduct was excellent; his See also:measures were skilful, and his See also:personal valour, as always, conspicuous. So much could not be said of his See also:tactics at the battle of See also:Breitenfeld, the loss of which was not a little due to the impetuous See also:cavalry See also:general, who was never so happy as when leading a great See also:charge of See also:horse. The See also:retreat of the imperialists from the lost field he covered, however, with care and skill, and subsequently he won great See also:glory by his operations on the See also:lower See also:Rhine and the See also:Weser in See also:rear of the victorious See also:army of Gustavus See also:Adolphus. Much-needed reinforcements for the king of See also:Sweden were thus detained in front of Pappenheim's small and newly-raised force in the See also:north. His operations were far-ranging and his restless activity dominated the See also:country from See also:Stade to See also:Cassel, and from See also:Hildesheim to See also:Maastricht. Being now a field marshal in the imperial service, he was recalled to join See also:Wallenstein, and assisted the generalissimo in See also:Saxony against the Swedes; but. was again despatched towards See also:Cologne and the lower Rhine. In his See also:absence a great battle became imminent, and Pappenheim was hurriedly recalled. He appeared with his horsemen in the midst of the battle of Ltitzen (Nov. 6th—16th, 1632). His furious attack was for the moment successful. As See also:Rupert at See also:Marston See also:Moor sought See also:Cromwell as his worthiest opponent, so now Pappenheim sought Gustavus. At about the same See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.
