About this person

Born the third son of Emperor Leopold II in 1771, Charles was epileptic but rose to command Austria's forces against revolutionary France. He won at Neerwinden in 1793, stumbled at Wattignies and Fleurus, then in 1796 took charge of all Austrian armies on the Rhine and drove Jourdan and Moreau back with victories at Amberg, Würzburg, and Schliengen. He reformed Austria's military to adopt the nation-at-arms principle and kept winning - Ostrach, Stockach, Zürich. In 1809 he dealt Napoleon the shock at Aspern-Essling, then took a brutal loss at Wagram and left the field for good. Clausewitz faulted his rigidity, but Austrians remember him as the general who proved Napoleon could bleed.
