A historical map depicting the military campaigns of Viscount Turenne (also known as Vicomte de Turenne) and Count Montecuccoli in the region of Ortenau in 1675. The map is from the book “Histoire du Vicomte du Turenne” (History of Viscount Turenne).
Viscount Turenne, whose real name was Henri de La Tour d’Auvergne, was a renowned French military commander during the 17th century. He served under King Louis XIV and was known for his strategic brilliance and leadership on the battlefield. Count Montecuccoli, on the other hand, was an Austrian general who commanded the Habsburg forces during the same period.
The map showcases the different military camps and strategic positions held by Viscount Turenne and Count Montecuccoli in the Ortenau region in 1675. The Ortenau is an area located in present-day southwestern Germany, close to the French border. The map likely illustrates the movements and engagements of the two commanders during a specific campaign or series of battles that took place that year.
