TRENCK. I. Franz TOD der, baron, an Aus- trian soldier, born in Reggio, Calabria, Jan. 1, 1711, died in prison at Briinn, Oct. 14, 1749. In his 17th year he entered the Austrian ser- vice, but was obliged to leave it on account of his insubordination and excesses. In 1738 he became captain in a Russian hussar regi- ment. He was twice condemned to death for violations of discipline, but was saved by Mar- shal Mimnich, and after six months' penal la- bor retired to his estates in Slavonia. In 1740 he was permitted by the empress Maria The- resa to raise a corps of pandoors at his own expense, which soon numbered 5,000 men. At the head of these he served in the war of the Austrian succession, and distinguished himself by his courage, cruelty, and rapacity. Hav- ing at length, while undergoing trial by court martial, throttled one of the judges and at- tempted to throw him out of a high window, he was condemned to perpetual imprisonment in the castle of Spielberg at Briinn, where, according to some, he poisoned himself. He possessed astonishing physical strength, united with a disposition of extraordinary ferocity. His autobiography appeared at Vienna in 1807, under the title of Merkwurdiges Lelten und Thatcn des Freiherrn Franz von der Trench;
