Charles Eugène de Croÿ (1651–1702) was the son of Jacques Philippe de Croÿ-Roeulx and Johanna Catharina van Bronckhorst. He served as a German and Russian Field Marshal and was an aristocrat from the French noble House of Croy. He married Wilhelmina Juliana van den Bergh, who was 13 years his senior, they had no children.
He fought in the 1676 Battle of Lund on the Dano-Norwegian side, then for the Austrian army in the liberation of Vienna in 1683, and the attack on Belgrade in 1690. He was promoted to imperial field marshal for his exceptional work on the Petrovaradin Fortress in 1662.
After he died as a prisoner of war in 1702,
On demand of his creditors, his body, which rested at St. Nicholas' Church, was not buried. None of his friends or family would pay for his funeral following his death, so his body eventually naturally mummified and was put on display at the St. Nicholas' Church in Tallinn Estonia for approximately 190 years.
