WINDISCHGRATZ, PRINCE ALFRED (1787-1862)

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 710 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WIL-YAK
WINDISCHGRATZ, PRINCE ALFRED (1787-1862) , Austrian field-
marshal
 , entered the Austrian army in 1804, participated in all the wars against
Napoleon
  and fought with distinction at
Leipzig
  and in the campaign of 1814. In the following years of peace he held successive commands in Prague, being appointed head of the army in Bohemia in 1840. Having gained a reputation as a champion of energetic
measures
  against revolution he was called upon to suppress the insurrection of
March
  1848 in Vienna, but finding himself ill-supported by the ministers he speedily threw up his post. Having returned to Prague he there showed firmness in quelling an armed outbreak of the Czech separatists (June 1848). Upon the recrudescence of revolt in Vienna he was summoned at the head of a large army and reduced the city by a formal siege (Oct..20-29). Appointed to the
chief
  command against the Hungarian rebels he gained some early successes and reoccupied Budapest (Jan. 1849), but by his slowness in pursuit he allowed the enemy to rally in superior numbers and to prevent an effective concentration of the Austrian forces. In April 1849 he was relieved of his command and henceforth rarely appeared again in public
life
 .
