Baron Franz von der Trenck was an Austrian soldier. Trenck was born into a military family on 1 January 1711, in Reggio in south Italy, where his father Johann Heinrich Trenck served as an Austrian officer. Although born in Italy, Trenk was actually a Prussian with Austrian citizenship, and with large estates in Croatia, more precisely Slavonia. He spent his childhood mostly in Italy, Croatia and Hungary, which was not unusual since his father's job required frequent relocation. He was educated by the Jesuits at Ödenburg.
