Note 22 — I LOUIS XIV[14]

Frederick Hermann, Duke of Schomberg or Schönberg (1618-1690), was by birth a German, but he served in the French army for more than thirty years. After the revocation of the Edict of Nantes he was allowed to retire to Portugal. In 1688 he accompanied William of Orange to England, was created a Duke, was made Commander-in-chief of the forces in Ireland, and was killed at the battle of the Boyne. He is buried in St Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin.
