The Battle of Caldiero took place on October 30, 1805. Marshal André Masséna with 37,000 Frenchmen, encountered the Austrian 50,000 strong army, under the Archduke Charles of Austria, who were posted in the village and on the heights of Caldiero. Masséna attacked and carried the heights, but the village held out until nightfall. During the night the Archduke removed his baggage and artillery, leaving a corps of 5,000 men, under General Hillinger, to protect his retreat. This force was captured the following day. The Austrians lost 3,000 killed and wounded, and, including Hillinger's corps, 8,000 prisoners; the French about 4,000 killed and wounded.

Charles of Austria - LoveToKnow 1911 (1109 words)
He commanded a brigade at Jemappes, and in the campaign of 1 793 distinguished himself at the action of Aldenhoven and the battle of Neerwinden.
In 1797 he was sent to arrest the victorious march of General Bonaparte in Italy, and he conducted the retreat of the over-matched Austrians with the highest skill.
His popularity was now such that the diet of Regensburg, which met in 1802, resolved to erect a statue in his honour and to give him the title of saviour of his country; but Charles refused both distinctions.
