Karel Bonaventura Buquoy

Charles Bonaventura Buquoy (Czech "Karel Bonaventura Buquoy", full name in French "Charles Bonaventure de Longueval comte de Bucquoy", German: "Karl Bonaventura Graf von Buquoy") (January 9, 1571 – July 10, 1621) was a military commander who fought for the Holy Roman Empire during the Thirty Years' War.

Buquoy was born in Arras of French and Belgian ancestry. Emperor Matthias placed him in command of Imperial forces sent to Bohemia to put down a rebellion among the Bohemian aristocracy in 1618. He won several important battles especially in the lands of Bohemia - the turning point being the Battle of Záblatí near Prachatice on June 10, 1619. He also commanded the Imperial forces during the Battle of White Mountain on November 8, 1620. As a result of his successes, Emperor Ferdinand II gave him estates at Nové Hrady, Rožmberk and Libějovice; the estates remained in the Buquoy family until 1945.

He married Maria Maddalena Biglia in 1606 and had a son named Karl Albert. Buquoy died during the siege of Neuhäusel (Nové Zámky) in 1621.
