Biography
Prince of Hesse-Darmstadt and Russian General.
Friedrich was the youngest son of Landgrave Ludwig VI of Hesse-Darmstadt (1630-1678) and Elisabeth Dorothea of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg (1640-1709). He entered military service in Rome in 1697, like his three older brothers Georg, Philipp and Heinrich, against the wishes of his mother, a zealous Protestant. Later he entered Russian service under Peter the Great and was appointed Lieutenant-General of the cavalry. He participated, along with Peter, in the battle of Lesnaya against the Swedes, where he was mortally wounded during a musket exchange. Friedrich was brought to Chavusy in order to recover but died there on 18 October 1708, four days after Lesnaya.
