Count Adolf von Schwarzenberg was a general of the Holy Roman Empire whose sword, along with that of his descendant Prince Karl Philipp, is preserved in the arsenal of Vienna. He fought in the wars of religion, but was chiefly distinguished in the wars against the Turks on the eastern frontier. He was killed in a mutiny of the soldiers at Pápa in the Kingdom of Hungary in 1600 during the Long Turkish War.
