Wirich Philipp Lorenz Graf von Daun and, since 1710 Prince of Teano (* October 19, 1669 in Vienna, † 30 July 1741 in Vienna) was an imperial field marshal, knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece, imperial privy councilor and chamberlain. He is the father of the more famous Field Marshal Leopold Daun, the commander of Maria Theresa.
Life
Wirich Daun came from the noble family of the Daun, which since long time possessed the castle and the small town of Daun in the Eifel region near Koblenz and was accepted into the Imperial Count 1643. He began his military career in the regiment of his father, Johann Wilhelm Anton Graf Daun (1621-1706), who had entered into Austrian service in 1657 and 1694 also became field marshal. His mother was Anna Maria Magdalene Countess of Althann (1635-1712), his siblings were Joseph Martin Heinrich Dietrich Graf Daun, imperial field marshal and Hofkriegsrat (court war council) (1678-1761) and Lieutenant-General Henry Richard Lorenz Graf Daun ( 1673-1729 ).
Wirich Daun 1696/97 took part in the campaign in Hungary and fought there also at Zenta. From 1701 he served in the War of Spanish Succession under Prince Eugene in Italy. He became famous in 1706 with a tough, three and a half months defense of Turin against the siege of the troops of the Duke de la Feuillade. This allowed Eugen gain time so that he could beat the superior French army of Philip of Orleans and Marshal Marsin in the Battle of Turin.
Meanwhile, in 1707 moved to the Feldzeugmeister (general quartermaster) promoted Daun south to conquer the Kingdom of Naples. The resistance of the Neapolitans was broken by the storming of the fortress of Gaeta. Thereby he employed a in Genoa purchased ship, which henceforth formed the basis of the Austrian Navy.
Archduke Charles, then titular King of Spain and King of Naples, Daun then appointed arbitrarily, ie without the consent of Emperor Joseph I, to Field Marshal of the Spanish-Italian troops in Naples.
As the successor of Georg Adam Graf of Martinitz Viceroy of Naples 1707-1708, Daun initiated the successful conquest of Sardinia. Charles gave him the Principality Teano (now the province of Caserta), which had previously been confiscated by the Duchess of Medina-Sidonia. He turned down this feud, however, contra a top-up-fee, but the at the same time conferred title of Prince of Teano remained in the family Daun and passed in the 19th Century to the Palffy of Erdod as their heirs.
Finally appointed as successor as Eugene to field marshal and commander in chief in Italy, based in Milan, Daun penetrated in 1708 in the Comacchiokrieg against Rome before, expulsed Marshal Claude-Louis-Hector de Villars, occupied the papal legations in central Italy and forced Pope Clement XI. to peace with Joseph.
For this he was appointed to the Spanish grandee, winner of the Golden Fleece in 1713 and again Viceroy of Naples, where he knew how to make himself popular with the people. His term ended in 1719.
1719 to 1725 he was Director of Artillery (Supreme agriculture and domestic Ordnance) and commandant of the city of Vienna. During this time he had built the current Palace Kinsky according to the plans of Lucas von Hildebrand.
Then Daun temporarily served as governor of the Netherlands (1724/25), after Prince Eugene of Savoy who resigned his governorship. 1728 Down was Governor of the Duchy of Milan. As such, he had the city in 1733 to yield a French superiority under King Charles Emmanuel III. of Sardinia, which is why he was replaced by Field Marshal Mercy and fell from grace. However, he was able to justify against all allegations and was rehabilitated.
His wall grave is located in the chapel of St. George in the Vienna Augustinian church where his son is buried, too.
His wife was Maria Barbara Countess Herberstein.

When we were boarding the train at Tisvildeleje to Copenhagen, Yvonne approached the closing doors which jammed her and the cane basket, she was carrying, while the kids screamed and yelled "mummy mummy". The doors released and she escaped much to the delight of the kids. Much laughter around the carriage after.

A really random idea turned into literally, one of my most favorite pictures ever.
Yesterday was kind of crazy. I got up and went to work at our new location. I was there at 6:45am. I spent most of the time I was there picking tape off of the paystations. It was really gross. Around 10am, my boss said he wanted me to go to one of the other locations and help out there. So he gave me cab money and I was on my way. Got down there, knowing that I knew nothing about how things work there, and got put to work sorting money. Left there at 11:30, caught a bus into Oakland and met Justin for lunch. We had quesadillas and ice cream (our usual). My ice cream was coconut with almonds and chocolate chips. It was divine.
After lunch I caught another bus downtown and walked to my usual work location. Got there around 1:30, and worked til midnight.
It wasn't until like 11pm, that my energy finally started to wane. I was hyper and happy and running around and dancing and talking a mile a minute.
Got home, went to bed, slept til 11am. Showered. Fixed my hair. Wrapped star shaped christmas lights around my head, and took a few photos. Seriously, I could've stopped with the first one, but this is the fourth. I *love* it. So so so so so much.
I have to leave for work in a half hour.
Awesome point: The local radio station called today to let me know I won a copy of "Burn After Reading" on DVD. I can pick it up on my way to work! :D
