Identity and origins
Identity and origins
After having distinguished himself as a fortification officer with Lennart Torstensson, he was entrusted with the command of all the Swedish fortifications on German soil in 1646. He became a general in 1673 and a field marshal in 1675. King Charles XI created him a freiherr in 1677 with the baronial name Marderfelt (from which some literature has tended to drop one "r"). He was the father of Arvid Axel Mardefelt.
The authorities additionally record the heading Field Marshal Conrad von Maesberg, 1.Baron Marderfelt. His recorded language was Swedish. He married Lucia Catharina Theofili and Augusta Eleonora von der Lancken. 4 children are recorded: Filip Christoffer Marderfelt, Arvid Axel Mardefelt, August Philip Marderfelt and Baroness Christina Maria Marderfelt.
