Count Heinrich von Bellegarde, Viceroy of Lombardy-Venetia ( or sometimes "Heinrich von Bellegarde") (29 August 175622 July 1845), of a noble Savoyard family, was born in Saxony, joined the Saxon army and later entered Habsburg military service, where he became a general officer during in the Habsburg border wars, the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars. He became a "Generalfeldmarschall" and statesman. Born in Dresden in the Electorate of Saxony on 29 August 1756, his family stemmed from an old line

of Savoairds. His father was the Saxon General Johann Franz von Bellegarde (named count in 1741) and his mother was "Frau Reichsgräfin" Maria Antonia von Hartig. Bellegarde first served in the Saxon army, receiving a commission as a "Fähnrich" (ensign) in the Infantry Regiment Bork; later as a lieutenant in the Queen's regiment. Transferring his services to Austria in 1771, Bellegarde and distinguished himself leading the dragoon regiment "Zweibrück" in the War of the Bavarian Succession. In 1781, Joseph II named

was allowed to retreat behind the Mincio River in return for evacuating all of their hard-won gains Piedmont and Lombardy. An Austrian officer noted that the empire would have been better served if Zach had been teaching at the military academy rather than directing the advance guard at Marengo. Evidently, Melas bore a grudge against Zach. When he introduced Zach to his successor, Count Heinrich von Bellegarde, Melas said, "You see this little man, he has a soul as black as his countenance." Yet Bellegarde employed Zach

When Joachim Murat defected to the Coalition in January 1814, bringing the army of the Kingdom of Naples with him, Eugène abandoned the line of the Adige and fell back to the Mincio River. Hoping to secure a bridgehead across the Mincio, Bellegarde put his army in motion. On the same day, Eugène determined to drive back the Austrian outposts. These actions

In 1805, when Archduke Charles left to take command in Italy, Bellegarde became president "ad interim" of the council of war. He was, however, soon employed in the field, and at the sanguinary Battle of Caldiero he commanded the Austrian right. In the War of the Fifth Coalition he commanded the I "Armee Korps". He supervised the II

The French Army of Helvetia and the Army of the Danube, now both under the command of Masséna, tried to prevent this merger of the Austrian forces; in a preliminary action

On 20 June, Moreau and 14,000 French troops left the security of the mountains to defeat Count Heinrich von Bellegarde and 11,000 Austrians in the Second Battle of Marengo. Bellegarde withdrew to the west after suffering 2,260 casualties but Moreau soon scampered back to the safety of the Apennines after hearing news of the Trebbia. French casualties numbered 1,000 killed and wounded in this encounter. By 27 June, Suvorov moved his main army west to cover

Campi's brigade included the 92nd Line Infantry Regiment and the 30th Provisional Demi-Brigade, while Forestier's brigade consisted of the 35th Light and 84th Line Infantry Regiments. As before, two 6-pound artillery batteries were attached. Unhappy with Hiller's performance, the Austrian high command replaced him with Count Heinrich von Bellegarde.

Soon after, he operated on the north bank of the Danube in conjunction with Johann von Klenau's independent division. At the Battle of Aspern-Essling on 21 and 22 May, Stutterheim was put in charge of a light brigade in Johann Karl Peter Hennequin de Fresnel's division of Count Heinrich von Bellegarde's I Armeekorps. The brigade included the

Of Heinrich von Bellegarde's 21,000 men, the Austrians counted only 400 casualties. At Novi, Karaczay was positioned on the left flank of Peter Karl Ott von Bátorkéz's division with two and one-half squadrons of his own dragoons, three squadrons from the Hussars Nr. 5, and two field

O'Reilly's division was only lightly engaged before darkness ended the fighting. At the Battle of Caldiero on 30 October, O'Reilly's division participated in the counterattacks which helped restore the Austrian line. For his actions in the war, he earned the Commander's Cross of

Fearing the worst in Bavaria, Charles took up a defensive posture, even though he knew he outnumbered Masséna. The archduke posted Feldmarschall-Leutnant Johann von Hiller's 22,000 troops in the Italian Tyrol, north of Rivoli Veronese. The archduke lined the east bank of the Adige from Verona to Legnago with 40,000 soldiers and he held a 30,000-man central reserve at Caldiero.

Alvinczi was wounded twice and command devolved upon the youthful Archduke Charles who led a counterattack which recovered ground and drove the French over the Little Helpe.
