# Prince Eugene of Savoy

> Rejected by Louis XIV for a French commission—too scrawny, tainted by his mother's scandal—he defected to the Habsburgs and spent the next half-century crushing the king's armies across Europe. By the time he died, Eugene of Savoy had broken the Ottomans at the gates of Vienna, saved the Empire at Blenheim, and become the soldier Louis could never afford to

## Bio

Born in Paris in 1663 to a noble family eyeing him for the priesthood, Eugene wanted the sword instead. At 19 Louis XIV shut the door; at 20 Eugene was fighting for Emperor Leopold I at the siege of Vienna, his brother already dead in Habsburg service. He made field marshal by 25 after taking Buda and Belgrade, then ended the Ottoman threat for a generation with his rout at Zenta in 1697. The War of the Spanish Succession paired him with Marlborough—together they won Blenheim, Oudenaarde, Malplaquet—and his triumph at Turin in 1706 secured Italy. He returned east to smash the Turks again at Petrovaradin and Belgrade, sealing peace in 1718. In old age he built the Belvedere, collected art, and corresponded with philosophers, but led one last grinding campaign in the Polish succession war before his death in Vienna in 1736 at 72.
