Prince Eugene of Savoy was one of the greatest generals of early modern Europe. He is renowned for his victories against the invading Ottoman Empire and for his partnership with the Duke of Marlborough in the War of the Spanish Succession.
Eugene of Savoy is remembered as Austria's greatest general and helped lay the foundation for Hapsburg power in central Europe. He became one of the richest men in Europe throughout his career from the spoils of his battlefield victories and relationship with the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.

This guy is a legend. One of the greatest strategists in European history and beyond. It is interesting to note that he actually left the French court because the French king (who was his cousin) refused to let him pursue a military career. The thing is he was kinda small and sickly so they in fact laughed behind his back for requesting to join the army. He left France and went to Austria...something the French would regret during the "War of Spanish Succession". He was of the same Savoy branch that would later become rulers of Sardinia and eventually united Italy.
Like Hitler... He burned entire Bosnian cities. Deportated ethnic Bosnians and he let Serbs live there until Bosnians returned to Eastern Bosnia

The French obviously forgot the story of David from the Bible.
@@trenbolone_user jesus christ care to share sources? those are hefty allegations.
Tomatenpresse Do worry, he won’t because he pulled that straight out of his ass.
He defeated in War of the Spanish Succession 1712 Battle of Denain by Claude Louis Hector de Villars.
If this man would have been English or American, they would have made a thousand movies, and books, to glorify him.
i dont think so,learning about ottoman-killer leaders isnt political correct nowdays.
American figures have thousands of movies and books made about them because the authors of said movies and books are British and American. Is their fault that Austria does not have a booming global movie industry ? lol
@Pferd Schild more likely they'd turn him into a proud lesbian woman of colour nowadays...
@Pferd Schild He was actually quite sexually active during his younger years at versailles, and i'll just say it wasn't with women.
@@AEIOU05 Pferd prefer old german movies made from 1933 to 1945.
He earned the nickname "the ottoman slayer" by crushing the ottoman horde on battlefields. Was a true hero and military genius, spreading fear among obnoxious ottomans. In my opinion, he was also underrated, less known general. He definitely deserved more recognition and respect. I'd like to thank you personally, for covering him in this video.
Greetings from Senta (Zenta) where an important battle took place involving Eugene of Savoy. He is a legend!
It's interesting to note that four powers named major warships in his honor: Austria, a dreadnought; Germany, a heavy cruiser; Italy, a light cruiser; Britain, a big gun monitor.There's too little written of this great soldier in English.The narration here lacks inspiration.
He offered his services, early on, to Louis XIV and Louis rejected the offer. That was a costly mistake for Louis. He then became one of the most effective generals fighting against Louis XIV.
Yes! But not the most effective...
@@paulbantick8266 I see. Who was the most effective then?
@@tasnimulsarwar9189 Well, Marlborough of course! John Churchill. The General and his battalions that the most powerful army on earth grew to fear.
@@paulbantick8266 thank you. Will look into the guy.
@@paulbantick8266 Eugene was more effective
Wow I can't believe I've never heard of this man, he definitely deserves more attention. Also I found it quite funny that he said "Either I will take Belgrade or Belgrade will take me" since Mehmed II said the same thing about Constantinople before conquering it.
Turks have a funny way of hijacking people and history.
@@CaraTibi how so? They were just conquerors. They are being hated because they were strong and fearful
@@CaraTibi Fatih Sultan Mehmet said his quote in 1453, 235 years before Eugene took Belgrade...in other words Eugene ripped off Mehmet.
Next time *Read Slowly* before you comment & I'd advise brushing up on your knowledge of history before you start critiquing others so that an embarrassing faux pas like this doesn't reoccur.
@@RandomGuy-df1oy Nooo, They were a treacherous empire that was not European and broke Islamic laws with mysticism and dirtied the noble faith of contemporary Islam.
@@LORDMEHMOODPASHA your post is incomprehensible as is. Could you please rewrite it.
I had no idea this Prince Eugene of Savoy was such a thorn on the Ottomans. I think he defeated the Ottomans more times than any other European general. The Battle of Zenta has always been among my favorites when it comes to Christians vs. Muslims conflicts. And to find out that Prince Eugene of Savoy also defeated the Ottomans in several more battles, now makes him one of my all time favorite generals. He also deserves recognition as one of the greatest generals ever, because he won several battles against one of the greatest empires in history (Ottoman Empire).
ottoman didnt deserve to be the one oof thet greatest though, the greatest empire that has ever ruled in the balkans were Russian Empire, Ottoman couldnt go head on with the russian empire without british and france intervention, without british and france, ottoman would have ended about 150-200 years earlier
@@SousukeAizen421 Lol if you look at that way, Russia was not alone against Ottomans. most of the time Ottomans fought with Russia and Austria at the same times. Also Russia was growing and Ottomans was declining at these times so it is normal. Earlier even march of Ottomans, Crimean Khaganate, defeated Russians several times.
Ottoman pashas were joke at these times. Eugene stomped these stupid pashas but Ottomans still couldnt take lessons because the whole system was corrupt
@UCJbBhX0w7MVYiaSkDnFCGVA said that"Crimean Khaganate, defeated Russians several times". I said neither Grandy Duchy of Muscovy nor Russia. Even I say Russia for Grand duchy of Muscovy, it is not wrong. Grand duchy of Muscovy succeeded by Tsardom of Russia and Tsardom of Russia succedeed by Russian Empire. These are same things with different forms. So dont equivocate. For a long time, Ottomans didnt see Russians as a threat so they just send some janisseries to the Crimea when Crimea asks for help. First actual war between Ottomans and Russia took place in 1687, long after Ottomans prime times. So if you say that "Russian Empire is greater than Ottoman Empire because Russians defeated Ottomans." It doesnt make any sense.
@@aknakcam4677 excuses excuses, you should really thank your british and french master from saving you, how does it feel to be british puppet state for 200 years ? before being discarded at the dawn of the great war that is after the ottomans outlived their usefulnes,
doesnt matter how many battle the crimean kahanate won, in the end, they lost the war, that's all that matters, Russia is still a superpower while turkey is just an insignificant country
Battle of Zenta,aka the greatest BRUH moment in Ottoman history
One of my favorite generals! Eugene of Savoy. Thank you for covering this legend. Finally someone covers his exploits
He got revenge at mohács where the Hungarians were defeated at 1526. What a hero
A Proud European
He wasn’t the commander during this battle.
The Imperial Army as such was commanded by the Duke of Lorraine, the left wing of the army that was attacked by the Ottomans and crushed them during the battle was under the command of Maximilian II. Emmanuel Elector of Bavaria.
Eugene of Savoy was only one of several generals under the command of Maximilian II. Emanuel.
@@HingerlAlois Good to know but still
Why is this almost the only video about him, while there are tons of videos about the 2nd siege of Vienna or the Siege of Malta (and obviously everything the English ever did)? That was a winning streak comparable to Skanderbeg, Yi Sun-sin
and Napoleon (and on top never got himself killed or exiled). He's ignored to a degree that it almost looks deliberate.
While the 2nd siege of Vienna was a very important battle in history indeed, we still shouldn't forget Eugene of Savoy's roles against the Ottomans. He certainly deserves much more attention.
Edit: Oh, found this: czcams.com/video/gPQXGtFIt0U/video.html
Skanderbeg, John Hunyadi, Vlad Dracul, John III Sobieski and the Prince. All played key roles in halting Ottoman expansion. Some are better known the others, not many movies about their exploits but history enthusiasts will never forget them.
Yes, they're. But already the Ottomans were reached to natural borders in east also we can say this for west, about fort of Vienna. It's so higher than Ottoman's border. And if we say this they are important in collapsing of ottomans. and finally, Skanderbeg is national hero from Albania. He is not affected the Ottomans. We can see this, ii.Murad's attitude.
We'll not forget them. And you never forget too some persons. ((:
@@sergenguler1386 Skanderbeg was a small pebble in.the ottomans shoe, but they couldn't remove that pebble for years.
They would send armies into his country, sink massive resources into military campaigns with little to show for it time and time again. He wasn't a threat to invade Istanbul obviously but he put up massive resistance despite being hugely outnumbered every battle and siege.
@@Kruppt808 cleverly, Skanderbeg is little person for us but, we are not thinking as we are in Albania. So yes they're affected to collapse of Ottoman
A movie about Prinz Eughen? With this political environment surely someone could accuse him of imperialism/racism against the"poor" ottomans (but with modern CGI and good writers would be awesome!)
@@Kruppt808 Stephen the great did really well for what he had to even if it didn’t end the best
Amongst the comments here implying the irony of the fact that a German vessel of WWII was named after a personality who had fought alongside Sir Winston Churchill's famous ancestor nobody has thought to mention that, to accentuate that irony, the Italians had the 'Eugenio di Savoia', a light cruiser, in WWII and in WWI the Austro-Hungarian Empire had another 'Prinz Eugen', a Dreadnought-class battleship, which was commanded by the future Regent of Hungary, Admiral Miklós Horthy, whose wife would go on to launch the 'Prinz Eugen' of the Kriegsmarine. In another twist of irony, given the fact that one of the actions of the 'Prinz Eugen' of WWI was bombarding Ancona, the 'Eugenio di Savoia' was launched by the Duke of Ancona.
It's been very interesting over this past few days looking into the activities, in a similar part of Europe, but slightly earlier in history, of that other personality after whom another of Italy's 'Condottieri' Class light cruisers was named, Raimondo Montecuccoli.
Thank you for making a video about a forgotten hero, the greatest general of the Habsburg Empire! Sincerely from someone whose country (Hungary) was liberated by Prince Eugene
Interesting to see how a young foreign noblemen became the most respected military figure in Austria, even fighting against his previous homeland France.
This story makes me think about Maurice de Saxe, who was a German aristocrat but is now the most revered French military leader of Louis XV's time.
but it says at the begining he was born in paris
Thants more of an indication of how much Austria sucked at war.
Bella gerant alii, tu felix Austria nube...we are too smart for war
I think the family was french by father and italian by mother - swiss not that much
By that time, there was not such thing as "nationality". Loyalty was a very personal thing, and since he did not swore loyalty to Louis XIV he felt free to swore loyalty to any other king or emperor.
By the way, this wasn't something new, or unheard of. Louis II, Prince of Condé, which was a french general during thirty years war, switched side and took command of spanish army against France in 1652. This was never considered shamefull or outrageous, since Prince of Condé was allowed to return to France in 1659.
Born to a noble French family ??? His father was Eugene Maurice of Savoy from the Carignano family of Italian extraction and his mother was Olympia Mancini, another Italian family. Historically Savoy was a duchy across Italy and France and the Savoy royal house was one of the driving forces determining the creation of the unified Italian nation. A correct definition would be Italian-French noble family. Incidentally, the full name would be Prince Eugene Francis of Savoy-Carignano.
Not even french-italian but fully italian. The family had embraced the italian identity over 100 years before he was born lol
Thank you for helping free Europe, Eugene.
@Obiwank Keb34 Exactly ..
I don't believe in reincarnation but like to think Victor Orban of Hungary today is his spiritual successor, God Knows somebody like that is needed so much today in Europe.
Great to have a video about Eugene Von Savoia but please check your data! He was at the battle of Vienna because he had just received the news of the death of his brother Louis Julius, killed at Petronell by the vanguard of the Ottoman army and the Tatars. He ran to Austria, as many other young nobles volunteers, to avenge his brother's death and to fight against the enemies of Christendom. Of course he fought well at the battle of the Kahlenberg but, even more important, he had strong support from influent members of the Imperial High command, and he very logically took command of his brother's regiment, the von Savoy dragoons (former Kuefstein dragoons until February of 1683).
There was muslim lipka tatars who saved Jan Sobieski's life in the battle field vs christians fighting under ottoman flag . It was a battle of power but no religion .
Nothing less than the saviour of Europe
Dont forget about Charles Martel, Jan Sobieski and Pelagio. They also can hold that title.
James R. Astor from Austria ah cmon the Ottomans were shit anyways, did you believe they were willing to invade all of europe 😂
ARE U SUGGESTING, FOR 1 MINUTE THAT LIFE UNDER THE OTTOMANS WOULD BE ANYTHING LESS THEN AWESOME??????????????? AAHAHAHAAAHhahahahaaaahaaaaahahahaha R.I.P GENERAL
@tesko radic because Sarajevo was held by ottomans
@tesko radic you were complaining about Eugene attacking Sarajevo, and I said that it made perfect sense for him to do so because Sarajevo was an ottoman stronghold
And what he did was perfectly normal for the time, the ottomans were also cruel against their enemies
He is amazing! Helped turn tide in Ottoman wars.I have never heard of him-and I would enjoy historical movie on his life and times.

Thank you for the informative video.

I know a lot of history, but this video surprised me. Thank you for posting information about this great military leader.
Excellent video! May I request you do a video on Charles XII of Sweden in the near future?
This channel is amazing
thx for the vid mister robot
Eugene of Savoy, Louis II Prince of Conde, Marshal de Turenne, Marshal Maurice de Saxe, Gustavus Adolphus, and Frederick the Great. Hands down best commanders of the 17th and 18th centuries. Napoleon was the best of the 19th and Charlemagne was the best of medieval times.
Don't forget Peter the Great my favorite Russian general by far, a true Orthodox Christian hero as well :)
You forget Marlborough and Villars
@@americancaesar1830 If you like Russian general, I suggest you learn about General Alexander Suvorov. That guy is a spectacular millitary commander.
The Duke of Marlborough. Also if we look outside Europe Nader Shah was probably better than all of them except Napoleon
We don't know enough about Charlemagne to say he was the best
It's amazing to me how little is taught in school. Thank you for this video.
It's Austrian History and is taught in Austrian High Schools (Gymnasium). But not so much of British History ist taught in Austrian Schools (except of course Lord Nelson at Trafalgar), so I think Austrian History is not much of a topic in British Schools either.
4:50 Spanish Succession : William III was the one calling the shots. He'd already organised a Triple Alliance and Grand Alliance for previous wars with Louis XIV.
And had been calling for a Grand Alliance over Louis' occupation of Flanders but was refused by parliament.
Only when British commerce was threatened did parliament acquiesce.
The Dutch (who had been fighting France on and off since 1669) were obviously in.
Archduke Charles (Leopold's son) the Allies candidate, visited Queen Anne in 1704
(to receive her imprimatur) before landing in Lisbon.
I should add, William died in March 1702 and war was declared in May 1702.
But William had been the driving force. As much as he distrusted/disliked John Churchill, he had sent him to the Hague as a plenipotentiary in 1701.
Everything hinged on Parliament giving the nod.
One of the most underrated general of all time , this guy thought freidrich the great
I saw him his picture in 17th century abandoned castle in france.the same place i stay when im a child.he is my great great ancestor.
Every Savoyard is proud of Eugen, probably the second most predominant figure in our 1000 years history (the first being Duke Amedee VIII).
@Jean nous sommes les meilleurs! Moi je suis de Moutiers mais cela fait hélas 41 ans que je suis parti. Je suis un Savoyard errant, comme beaucoup!
Savoy is Italy.

Well done. Greetings from Senta!
Thats amazing!!!!!
He teamed up very well with Malborough and together they put their ego away that is very rare ! a perfect badass military Genius pair !!!unfortunatly for us! French !!
They worked very well together.
I enjoy these videos describing famous people of history whom I’ve barely (if ever) heard of. Stay well out there everybody, and Jesus Christ be with you friends.😊
Will never forget this story
I was born in Savoie, but weirdly enough I do not know much about the house of Savoie. Thanks for this video!
This guy needs a movie
During the War of the Spanish Succession there was another major war in Europe: the Great Northern War - the first war the Russians won due to the Russian Winter and thr war that made Russia a great power. For that matter it would be nice if you cover Charles XII of Sweden and/or the Swedish Karolean army - despite fighting alone against four states and being outnumbered in every battle by between 2/1 and 4/1 they were undefeated for nearly 10 years.
He was one of the baddest mf's ever led an army into combat. Pure, unadulterated, genius. Cold, calculating fox.
Baddest: classical beginners error. But so predictible for Germans/Austrians learning English.
I agree, I love the look of him, nothing like a god of war but looks can sure be deceiving

Could make a video about John Churchill?

There is a movie called the Admiral. I found it on You Tube czcams.com/video/rNFb0gwZ_fI/video.html
Now I feel like playing Empire: Total War.
His legacy as a German Heavy Cruiser in 1930s is rightfully fitting.
...and then made into one thirsty moe waifu
The fact that the Ottomans held on that long against such an alliance is a testimony to the continued strength of the Empire, contrary to narratives of Ottoman weakness after the death of Suleiman Kanuni.
>such an alliance
They still couldn't field armies as large as the Ottomans though. You're acting like it was 1 nation vs. 4 nations. It was one empire of many nations versus other nations.
Syed Ahmed Holy Roman Empire was the only empire in the alliance, and holy Roman Empire isn't as strong as you think
@Syed Ahmed the only european empire was the holy roman empire, and that was less coherent, than anthing that comes even remotley close to a unified state .plus it was in a constant state of war with france, hence the bulk of its forces were always bound in the west. As well as constantly fending off the tartars in the east. E.g. the siege of vienna only encountered such a small resistance force, as the french were doing a full skale invasion from the west at the same time. This betrayal of christianity even started the hereditary enemyship with the french from the german side. This is also why the emperor did not send troops to aid vlad dracul, after he annihilated the ottoman forces in his region, as again war with france was on the horizon. The problem was not, that european powers didn't have the power to crush the ottomans in europe, it was more that they were all in a mexican standoff and no power could risk taking on the ottomans, as that would have weakened their position too much in their conflict with the other european powers.
@Syed Ahmed Since the second part of the 18th century, ottoman empire became more a puppet state of British empire who protect them against Russia
@@jabotjab6239 in the Battle of Chesma(1770), there was a British admiral in the Russian fleet. How do you think the Russians have crossed the English channel and the Strait of Gibraltar? Also they were allies in the Battle of Navarin (in 1827) and WWI. The British always protect their own interests.
Dude is rocking that fro!!!!
He was seriously defeated by Claude Louis Hector de Villars at the Battle of Denain 1712.
While the Austrians suffered more casualties than the French, this battle wasn't decisive and most of Eugene's army was still unharmed. However, the French managed to capture most of the towns which they lost in the last years.
@@TheAustrianAnimations87 Yes you are right. This was not a decisive French victory. However, with the French defeat at the Battle of Malplaquet in 1709, Paris was left defenseless. France could fall. They carried out a counterattack and were saved from destruction thanks to this battle. So it was an important victory.
One of the Seven gratest in the eyes of the Napoleon.
i havent watch this yet i paused to say this! eugene was one of the greatest generals Europe has ever produced ! that is a fact!
Interesting that the Hapsburg's greatest general was. a Frenchman. No wonder Napoleon loved him
Napoleon honored Frederick the Great, a Prussian king, whose nation he bulldozed. Because he's French? Napoleon is a Corsican, not French.
@@alexanderchristopher6237 And house of Savoy is not exactly French
@@alexanderchristopher6237 Lol Corsica was French even before his birth. And if you doubt who he was just read his testamment and you'll see.
Napoleon is Tuscan. His family migrated just two generations before and Corsica was sold by Genova to France just around his birth.
@Antoine B de M Funny how you quoted our national hero Pasquale Paoli(sounds quite italian to me). When he himself in his most famous writing wrote "WE ITALIANS".
Fucking french colonizer acting like he's corsican.
Corsica first, italy second
Oh, so thats where "prinz eugen" comes from. Cool video!
The picture at 6:10 is wrong. The picture is not Charles VI but his son-in-law Francis I.
He was not french he was Italian for a fact he was part of the royal House of Savoy in Italia we call him Eugenio il grande we have even a Museum in Turin dedicated to him
Damn. What a stud!
Wow!
He has a statue in the fortress of Buda.
An absolutely remarkable military leader with eminent achievements and astonishing unknown especially for mostly younger Europeans which formed Europe in so many ways after defeating and defending Christians from the powerful Ottoman Empire.
Prince Eugene of Savoy lived from 1663 - 1737. Beethoven's Fifth Symphony (the background music for this video) was first performed in 1808. Perhaps you should have picked a piece of music from the time period in which Eugene lived.
Avanti Savoia!
King Louis the XIV declined Eugene of Savoy's petition to join the Army declaring the request was modest but not the one making it. It would be probably one of the biggest mistakes Louis the XIV ever made during his reign. Not only did he lose a good officer but also ended up losing to him.
Man do i like that man.
I noticed that his statue depicts a horse rearing up with both front hooves off the ground. I've heard that means they had died in battle, but he died in his sleep. I looked up the hoof placement of these hero horse statues & apparently the hoof placement is a myth. Anyone else heard this?
He was great general!
Your understating how important Malborough was in that war
I love and respect any man who kicked Ottoman ass.
