Count Andrei Yakovlevich Budberg (Russian: Андрей Яковлевич Будберг; 1750-1812) was a Russian diplomat who served as Foreign Minister in 1806-07. His ancestors moved to Russia in the 16th century from Westphalia. Budberg was born in Riga and entered the military service in 1759. He participated in the Russo-Turkish war 1768-1774. In 1783 Budberg was promoted to podpolkovnik. The same year Riga governor-general Brown recommended Budberg to the Empress Catherine II as a diplomat. In fact, Budberg had been serving in the army as an infantry officer and had no diplomatic experience. Brown did it because he was a good friend of Budberg's parents. Westphalia (German: Westfalen) is a region in Germany, centred on the cities of Dortmund, Gelsenkirchen, Münster, Bielefeld, and Osnabrück and included in the states of North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony. ...
