About this person

Freiherr Joseph Alvinczi von Borberek also known as Baron József Alvinczi de Borberek was a soldier and an officer in the Habsburg Army and a field marshal of the Austrian Empire. He is remembered for handing Napoleon his first two defeats, at the battles of Bassano and Caldiero, both in 1796 and just days apart; moreover, the Austrian army consisted mainly of new recruits and inexperienced officers, and it had no internal cohesion. By the time of the Battle of Rivoli, Alvinczi's health had deteriorated as a result of the winter campaign. Napoleon would later remark that Alvinczi was the best general he had fought thus far.
