Friedrich, Prince of Schwarzenberg (Czech: kníže Bedřich Schwarzenberg; 30 September 1800 – 6 March 1870) had an adventurous career as a soldier, and described his wanderings and campaigns in several interesting works, of which the best known is his Wanderungen eines Lanzknechtes (1844–1845).
He took part as an Austrian officer in the campaigns of Galicia 1846, Italy 1848 and Hungary 1848, and as an amateur in the French conquest of Algeria, the Carlist Wars in Spain and the Swisscivil war of the Sonderbund. He became a major-general in the Austrian army in 1849, and died after many years of well-filled leisure in 1870.
Friedrich was briefly engaged to Princess Elisa Radziwill, but the engagement was called off.
