Prince Eugene Francis of Savoy, better known as Prince Eugene, was a field marshal in the army of the Holy Roman Empire and of the Austrian Habsburg dynasty during the 17th and 18th centuries. He was one of the most successful military commanders of his time and rose to the highest offices of state at the Imperial court in Vienna. Eugene left Vienna in early June 1716 with a field army of 80,000–90,000 men.
Leopold I awarded Eugene the colonelcy and the Kufstein regiment of dragoons for his participation and courage as a soldier in the Great Turkish War
By early August 1716 the Ottoman Turks, some 200,000 men under the sultan’s son-in-law, the Grand Vizier Damat Ali Pasha, were marching from Belgrade towards Eugene’s position west of the Petrovaradin fortress on the Danube’s north bank. Prince Eugene fought the Ottomans with great success up until the final victory in Belgrade and the conclusion of the Austro-Turkish war. Since then, Prince Eugene of Savoy has been remembered as one of the greatest military leaders in Europe. This scarce biography in Russian is one of the most detailed and significant works about him.
