Prince Eugene of Savoy - LoveToKnow 1911 (2918 words)
Formerly it was often stated that the battle of Zenta was fought against express orders from the court, that Eugene was placed under arrest for violating these orders, and that a proposal to bring him before a council of war was frustrated only by the threatening attitude of the citizens of Vienna.
The campaign was terminated by the sanguinary battle of Luzzara, fought on the 1st of August 1702, in which each party claimed the victory.
In the heat of the battle Eugene received a wound, and was thrown from his horse.
