Browne, george, count de, an Irish soldier Of fortune, was born on 15th June, 1698. He entered the service of the elector palatine, from which, in 1730, he passed into that of Russia. Here he rapidly advanced, and was engaged against the Poles, the French, and the Turks. His life was one of adventure. He was taken prisoner and sold thrice as a slave.
