He first joined the Dutch Army in 1671, and by 1683 had risen to become a Major General of cavalry.[1] In 1689, following the outbreak of the Nine Years War, he was sent with a detachment to persuade Liège to abandon its neutrality and join the Grand Alliance, a mission which proved successful.[2] The same year he took part in the Siege of Bonn.[3] He was killed at the Battle of Fleurus in 1690.
