field-See also:marshal, was See also:born at See also:Heidelberg on the 29th of See also:April 1767, and educated for the career of a See also:civil See also:official under the See also:Palatinate See also:government, but on the outbreak of the See also:campaign of 1799 he raised a volunteer See also:corps in the Palatinate and was made its See also:colonel. This corps excited the mirth of the well-drilled Austrians with whom it served, but its colonel soon brought it into a See also:good See also:condition, and it distinguished itself during Kray's See also:retreat on See also:Ulm. At Hohenlinden Wrede commanded one of the Palatinate See also:infantry brigades with See also:credit, and after the See also:peace of See also:Luneville he was made See also:lieutenant-See also:general in the Bavarian See also:army, which was entering upon a See also:period of reforms. Wrede soon made himself very popular, and distinguished himself in opposing the See also:Austrian invasion of 18o5. The Bavarians were for several years the active See also:allies of See also:Napoleon, and Wrede was
engaged in the campaign against See also:Prussia, winning especial distinction at See also:Pultusk. But the contemptuous attitude of the See also:French towards the Bavarian troops, and accusations of looting against himself, exasperated the general's fiery See also:temper, and both in 1807 and in 1809 even outward See also:harmony was only maintained by the tact of the See also:- KING

king of See also:Bavaria. In the latter See also:year, under See also:Lefebvre, Wrede conducted the rearguard operations on the See also:Isar and the Abens, commanded the Bavarians in the See also:bitter Tirolese See also:war, was wounded in the decisive attack at See also:Wagram, and returned to See also:Tirol in See also:November to See also:complete the subjection of the mountaineers. Napoleon made him a See also:count of the See also:Empire in this year. But after a visit to See also:France, recognizing that Napoleon would not respect the See also:independence of the See also:Rhine states, and that the empire would collapse under the See also:emperor's ambitions, he gradually went over to the See also:anti-French party in Bavaria, and though he displayed his usual vigour in the See also:Russian campaign, the retreat convinced him that Napoleon's was a losing cause and he See also:left the army. At first his resignation was not accepted, but See also:early in 1813 he was allowed to return to Bavaria to reorganize the Bavarian army. But he had no intention of using that army on Napoleon's See also:side, and when the king of Bavaria resolved at last to join Napoleon's enemies, Wrede's army was ready to take the field. In See also:concert with See also:Schwarzenberg Wrede threw himself across Napoleon's See also:line of retreat from See also:Germany at See also:Hanau, but on the 3oth of See also:October he was driven off the road with heavy losses. Next year, after recovering from a dangerous See also:wound, he led a corps in the invasion of France, and supported See also:Blucher's vigorous policy. In 1815 the Bavarians took the field but were not actively engaged. After_ See also:Waterloo, Wrede, who had been made a prince in 1814, played a conspicuous See also:part in Bavarian politics as the opponent of See also:Montgelas, whom he succeeded in See also:power in 1817, and in 1835 he was made See also:head of the See also:council of regency during the king's See also:absence. He died on the 12th of See also:December 1838.
