Short Description: "Guido Wald Rüdiger, count of Starhemberg (Graz, 11 November 1657 – Vienna, 7 March 1737) was an Austrian military officer (commander-in-chief) and by birth member of the House of Starhemberg.

He was a cousin of Ernst Rüdiger von Starhemberg (1638–1701), the famous commander of Vienna during the Turkish siege of 1683, and acted as his aide-de-camp during that siege. Guido followed his cousin, and later Prince Eugene of Savoy, in battles against the Turks.

In the War of the Spanish Succession, Starhemberg fought in Italy and Spain. Between 1706 and 1708 he was the commander-in-chief of the imperial army in Hungary, leading military operations against the insurgents of Francis II Rákóczi. In 1708, he was appointed Supreme Commander of the Austrians in Spain." - (en.wikipedia.org 12.08.2021)
