Mack, Karl, Freiherr von 1752-1828
Austrian soldier
Born in Nennslingen, Franconia, after fighting the Turks and the French republicans, he was created field marshal (1797). He occupied Rome for the King of Naples, but had to conclude an armistice with the French, and was driven by riots in Naples to seek safety with them. He was carried as a prisoner to Paris, but escaped in 1800. Having surrendered with his army to the French at Ulm in 1805, he was tried by court martial and condemned to death, but the sentence was commuted to 20 years' imprisonment. In 1808 he was freed and in 1819 fully pardoned.

A wildcard is a special character you can use to replace one or more characters in a word. There are two types of wildcard. The first is a question mark ?, which matches a single character. The second is an asterisk *, which matches zero or more characters. The two kinds of wildcard can be mixed in a single search.
