KHEVENHULLER, LUDWIG ANDREAS (1683-1744)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 777 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KHA-KRI
KHEVENHULLER, LUDWIG ANDREAS (1683-1744) , Austrian field-
marshal
 , Count of Aschelberg-Frankenburg, came of a noble family, which, originally Franconian, settled in Carinthia in the 11th century. He first saw active service under Prince
Eugene
  in the War of the Spanish Succession, and by 1716 had risen to the command of Prince
Eugene
 's own regiment of dragoons. He distinguished himself greatly at the battles of Peterwardein and Belgrade, and became in 1723 major-general of cavalry (General-Wachtsneister), in 1726 proprietary colonel of a regiment and in 1733 lieutenant field
marshal
 . In 1734 the War of the Polish Succession brought him into the field again. He was present at the battle of Parma (June 29), where Count Mercy, the Austrian
commander
 , was killed, and after Mercy's death he held the
chief
  command of the army in Italy till Field Marshal Konigsegg's arrival. Under Konigsegg he again distinguished himself at the battle of Guastalla (September 19). He was once more in command during the operations which followed the battle, and his skilful generalship won for him the grade of general of cavalry. He continued in military and diplomatic employment in Italy to the close of the war. In 1737 he was made field marshal, Prince Eugene recommending him to his sovereign as the best general in the service. His
chief
  exploit in the Turkish War, which soon followed his promotion, was at Radojevatz (September 28,1737), where he cut his way through a greatly superior Turkish army. It was in the Austrian Succession War that his most brilliant
work
  was done. As
commander
 -in-chief of the army on the Danube he not only drove out the French and Bavarian invaders of Austria in a few days of rapid marching and
sharp
  engagements (January, 1742), but overran southern Bavaria, captured Munich, and forced a large French corps in Linz to surrender. Later in the summer of 1742, owing to the inadequate forces at his disposal, he had to evacuate his conquests, but in the following campaign, though now subordinated to Prince Charles of Lorraine, Khevenhtiller
reconquered southern Bavaria, and forced the emperor in June to conclude the unfavourable convention of Nieder-Schonfeld. He disapproved the advance beyond the Rhine which followed these successes, and the event justified his fears, for the Austrians had to fall back from the Rhine through Franconia and the Breisgau, Khevenhuller himself conducting the
retreat
  with admirable skill. On his return to Vienna, Maria
Theresa
  decorated the field marshal with the order of the Golden Fleece. He died suddenly at Vienna on the 26th. of January 1744.
He was the author of various instructional works for officers and soldiers (Des G. F. M. Grafen v. Khevenhuller Observationspunkte fur sein Dragoner-regiment (1734 and 1748) and a reglement for the infantry (1737), and of an important
work
  on war in general, Kurzer Begriff aller militdrischen Operationen (Vienna, 1756; French version, Maximes de guerre, Paris, 1771).
