Count Franz Philipp von Lamberg (November 30, 1791–September 27, 1848) Austrian soldier and statesman, was born in Moor, Hungary. He entered the third Uhlan regiment in 1810. In 1848, the circumstance that, as a member of the upper eschelons of the Hungarian nobility, he had been entrusted with Hungarian relations with Austria brought him the difficult, but also distinguished, assignment as imperial commissioner charged with bringing about a peaceful adjustment between the emperor and the people. But before his arrival in Pest, Kossuth had incited the legislature to forbid his taking office as palatine of Hungary, and the army was instructed not to obey him. After his arrival in Pest, and a short and fruitless discussion with General Hrabowsky, he took a cab to a fortification. On a bridge, a mob which had been advised of his arrival fell upon the cab, murdered Lamberg, mutilated the body, and triumphantly carried it, impaled on scythes, to the disabled soldiers' home.
