Russian BO at Narva on 19/30 Nov, 1700 by Fer & Wolff.



There is no any Russian documents about Russian BO at Narva on 19/30 Nov, 1700. The only available data are from Swedish side. As far as I know the earliest plan with Russian BO was made by Nicolas de Fer (1646-1720) in 1701 in Paris.
Plan de Narva... 30 Novembre 1700
by N. de Fer, Paris, 1701
(Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal)
The best known map is from Adlerfeld’s The military history of Charles XII, King of Sweden (1740). It was was made by Zacharias Wolff (1667-1726), an engineer in the Holstein army. In 1700 he was Oberstleutnant and Vice-Commandant of Tonning fortress. So, he didn’t participate in the Narwa battle. The sources he based on are unknown. The exact date of his map is also unknown.

by Z. von Wolff, no data

Comparison of the Fer’s & Wolff’s BOs with list of Russian troops participated in the Narva campaign.
Important note: troops in Fer’s & Wolff’s plans are given in battle order; Russian sources don’t have any BO, only a list of troops

 Also Russian army includes 3 mounted Corps/troops:
1. Gosudarev Polk = mounted levy of Moscow nobles (real strength & organization in Narva campaign 1700 are unknown, I will return to this question soon)
2. Polk Smolenskoy Szliahty = mounted levy of Smolensk nobles, 7 coys, 897 men (without servants)
3. Regiment of Novgorod reitars (in fact feudal levy) under Ivan Kokoshkin
First & second corps were on the left Russian flank under Sheremetev. Wolff placed Novgorod horses on the right bank of Narowa river opposite Ivangorod. Russian sources don’t mention their place.
My main concerns about Fer’s & Wolff’s BO are:
1. Place of Dragoons in the line of Russian infantry
2. Composition of the Trubetskoy’s Division
3. No troops on the positions on the right bank of Narowa river
So, I am not sure that Fer’s or Wolff’s battle order are 100% accurate.

3 комментария:

  1. Deuniz Sohn = Девсон, очевидно.
    3 стрелецких полка: Стрекалова, Елчанинова и Сухарева = 1735 человек в начале кампании, явно мало для обложения Ивангорода. Недаром к ним из центра подбросили тот самый полк (а может, не один?).

    Нет ли новостей по Государеву полку? У Устрялова "собственный полк фельдмаршала" - это он?

    1. 1,7 тыс для обложения Ивангорода вполне достаточно, замок довольно небольшой. Плюс на военном совете 7/10 решили посылать на правый берег посменно по 500 чел.

      Полк фельдмаршала Головина - это Государев полк, смоляне и 3 "южных" стрелецких полка. По крайней мере, в указах о посылке стрельцов указано "в полк фельдмаршала Головина". Точной численности ГП я пока не нашел, но я надежды не теряю, и вполне возможно, что в каких-то более поздних документах по разборам и смотрам московских чинов удасться найти какие-то данные
