"Prince Eugene and I," wrote the Duke, "shall never differ about our share of the laurels. The Lords of Bourbon, 9th century until 1196. [1] Bourbon monarchs then united to France the small kingdom of Navarre, which Henry's father had acquired by marriage in 1555, ruling both until the 1792 overthrow of the monarchy during the French Revolution. He first saw action against the Ottoman Turks at the Siege of Vienna in 1683 and the subsequent War of the Holy League, before serving in the Nine Years' War, fighting alongside his cousin, the Duke of Savoy. Marie arranged the 1615 marriage of Louis to Anne of Austria, the daughter of King Philip III of Spain. At first, Marie de Medici, his mother, served as regent and advanced a pro-Spanish policy. It was given to his nephew, Philippe I, Duke of Orléans, brother of Louis XIV, whose descendants still bear the surname. A movement towards the establishment of a republic began in 1930 and Alfonso fled the country on 14 April 1931. In that year the Treaty of the Pyrenees was signed signifying a major shift in power, France had replaced Spain as the dominant state in Europe. On his deathbed Charles II had bequeathed the entire Spanish inheritance to Louis XIV's grandson, Philip, Duke of Anjou. History and description of Haplogroup R1b (Y-chromosomal DNA) and its subclades. [130] In the years immediately following the War of the Spanish Succession she began to be mentioned regularly in diplomatic correspondence as "Eugen's Egeria"[131] and within a few years she was referred to as his constant companion and his mistress. [111], In Britain there now emerged a new political re-alignment as the Anglo-French entente became increasingly defunct. "[70] Heartened by the Prince's confidence the Allied commanders devised a bold plan to engage the French army under Vendôme and the Duke of Burgundy. After a childless marriage for twenty-three years his queen, Anne, delivered a son on 5 September 1638, whom he named Louis after himself. Denied a military career in France, Eugene decided to seek service abroad. [55], By early 1704 Marlborough had resolved to march south and rescue the situation in southern Germany and on the Danube, personally requesting the presence of Eugene on campaign so as to have "a supporter of his zeal and experience". [1] Mazarin died on 9 March 1661 and it was expected that Louis would appoint another chief minister, as had become the tradition, but instead he shocked the country by announcing he would rule alone. Fleury died in 1743 before the conclusion of the war. Eugene and Marlborough could not be accused of wrecking the negotiations, but neither showed regret at the breakdown of the talks. His ability to snatch victory at the moment of defeat had shown the Prince at his best. He wanted to establish a dominating position for France in Europe, and he wanted to unify France under the monarchy. A Quadruple Alliance of Britain, France, Austria and the Netherlands was organized on 2 August 1718 to stop him. Eugene was in no doubt where his new allegiance lay, this loyalty was immediately put to the test. [82], Hoping to influence public opinion in England and force the French into making substantial concessions, Eugene prepared for a major campaign. At first he declared war on France on 7 March 1793, but he made peace on 22 June 1795. In August 1691, the Austrians, under Louis of Baden, regained the advantage by heavily defeating the Turks at the Battle of Slankamen on the Danube, securing Habsburg possession of Hungary and Transylvania. Henry succeeded to Navarre as Henry III when his mother died in 1572. Members of the House of Bourbon-Condé and its cadet branches, which never ascended to the throne, used the surname "de Bourbon" until their extinction in 1830. He named Juan Carlos de Borbón, a grandson of Alfonso XIII, his successor in 1969. The Spanish Council consisted of Spaniards and Italians who had followed Charles VI from Spain after the Spanish Succession war. "[72], Marlborough now favoured a bold advance along the coast to bypass the major French fortresses, followed by a march on Paris. "If I understand anything of my trade," commented Frederick in 1758, "especially in the more difficult aspects, I owe that advantage to Prince Eugene. [24] For his services, Eugene was promoted to Lieutenant-General in November 1687. With the 'Turks at the gates', the Emperor fled for the safe refuge of Passau up the Danube, a more distant and secure part of his dominion. "[9] Whatever the case, Louis XIV's choice would cost him dearly twenty years later, for it would be precisely Eugene, in collaboration with the Duke of Marlborough, who would defeat the French army at Blenheim, a decisive battle which checked French military supremacy and political power. The House of Bourbon (English: / ˈ b ʊər b ən /, also UK: / ˈ b ɔːr b ɒ n /; French: ) is a European dynasty of French origin, a branch of the Capetian dynasty, the royal House of France.Bourbon kings first ruled France and Navarre in the 16th century. Leopold I had warned Eugene that "he should act with extreme caution, forgo all risks and avoid engaging the enemy unless he has overwhelming strength and is practically certain of being completely victorious",[36] but when the Imperial commander learnt of Sultan Mustafa II's march on Transylvania, Eugene abandoned all ideas of a defensive campaign and moved to intercept the Turks as they crossed the River Tisza at Zenta on 11 September 1697. At age 7 Nicolas V de Villeroy[13][14] became the teacher of the young king. [78] The subsequent Battle of Malplaquet, fought on 11 September 1709, was the bloodiest engagement of the war. He involved France in the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) against the Habsburgs by concluding an alliance with Sweden in 1631 and, actively, in 1635. As a Son of France, his actual surname was "de France". One of Eugene's brothers, Louis Julius, had entered Imperial service the previous year, but he had been immediately killed fighting the Ottoman Turks in 1683. Eugene's holding operation, and his pressure for action leading up to the battle, proved crucial for the Allied success.[58]. Of Eugene's sisters, the youngest had died in childhood. [38] Although the Ottomans lacked western organisation and training, the Savoyard prince had revealed his tactical skill, his capacity for bold decision, and his ability to inspire his men to excel in battle against a dangerous foe. His coat of arms are: "D'azur, fleurs-de-lys d'or sans nombre, l'écu brisé d'un bâton ou cotice de gueules, brochant sur le tout, avec couronne de fils de France. Stanislas lost the Polish crown, but he was given the Duchy of Lorraine as compensation, which would pass to France after his death. Rousseau stayed on attached to the Prince's household, probably helping in the library, until he left for the Netherlands in 1722. When the First Spanish Republic failed the crown was offered to Isabella's son who accepted on 1 January 1875 as Alfonso XII. Eugene and Wratislaw were now the undisputed leaders of the Austrian government: all major departments of state were in their hands or those of their political allies. Ferdinand was forced to flee from Naples in 1806 when Napoleon Bonaparte deposed him and installed his brother, Joseph, as king. Marshal Villars, recently joined by Boufflers, moved his army south-west of the town and began to fortify his position. 539,933 talking about this. But on joining his army, he found it in a state of 'indescribable misery'. The French were driven out of almost all the Spanish Netherlands. But the following year was to prove a disappointment for the Prince and the Grand Alliance as a whole. [85] In this position of influence Eugene took the lead in pressing Charles VI towards peace. In June 2011, Luxembourg adopted absolute primogeniture, replacing the old Semi-Salic law that might have guaranteed the survival of Bourbon rule for generations. "The request was modest, not so the petitioner," he remarked. Fleury was a peace-loving man who intended to keep France out of war, but circumstances presented themselves that made this impossible. [46], Starved of supplies, money, and men, Eugene was forced into unconventional means against the vastly superior enemy. After a series of brilliant manoeuvres the Imperial commander defeated Catinat at the Battle of Carpi on 9 July. However, when Louis XVI was put on trial and later "guillotined" (executed) by the revolutionaries National Convention in France in 1793, they somewhat contemptuously referred to him in written documents and spoken address as "Citizen Louis Capet" as if a "commoner" (referring back to the Medieval origins of the Bourbon Dynasty's name and referring to Hugh Capet, founder of the Capetian dynasty). Bourbon kings first ruled France and Navarre in the 16th century. Another revolution erupted in January 1848 and Ferdinand was also forced to grant a constitution. The battle proved decisive: Vienna was saved and Bavaria was knocked out of the war. The single-storey Lower Belvedere, with its exotic gardens and zoo, was completed in 1716. Initially, most of the other powers were willing to accept Anjou's reign as Philip V, but Louis's mishandling of their concerns soon drove the English, Dutch and other powers to join the Austrians in a coalition against France. His death without issue marked the extinction of the French Bourbons. Ah, les femmes matures dans le porno… Qui n’a pas l’image d’une belle femmemature nue à quatre pattes ? She abdicated in favor of her son, Alfonso, in 1870, but Spain was proclaimed a republic for a brief time. Notwithstanding the difficulties of the attack, the Allied generals did not shrink from their original determination. [135][136] Eugene's biographer, historian Helmut Oehler, reported the Duchess's remarks but credited them to Elizabeth's personal resentment against the Prince. [20], In March 1684, Leopold I formed the Holy League with Poland and Venice to counter the Ottoman threat. [118] By the end of the year Franco-Spanish forces had seized Lorraine and Milan; by early 1734 Spanish troops had taken Sicily. Ferdinand VI, second son of Philip V and his first wife, succeeded his father. He remained neutral during World War I, but supported the military coup of Miguel Primo de Rivera on 13 September 1923. Napoleon escaped from exile and Louis fled in March 1815. There were two candidates for his successor: first, Stanisław Leszczyński, the father-in-law of Louis XV; second, the Elector of Saxony's son, Augustus, supported by Russia, Austria, and Prussia. He died in 1642 before the conclusion of that conflict, having groomed Cardinal Jules Mazarin as a successor. Mazarin continued the policies of Richelieu, bringing the Thirty Years' War to a successful conclusion in 1648 and defeating the nobility's challenge to royal absolutism in a series of civil wars known as the Frondes. By the time of the War of the Polish Succession, therefore, the Austrians were outclassed by a better prepared French force. [32] When Baden was transferred west to fight the French in 1692, his successors, first Caprara, then from 1696, Frederick Augustus, the Elector of Saxony, proved incapable of delivering the final blow. Eugene enhanced his standing during the War of the Spanish Succession, where his partnership with the Duke of Marlborough secured victories against the French on the fields of Blenheim (1704), Oudenarde (1708), and Malplaquet (1709); he gained further success in the war as Imperial commander in northern Italy, most notably at the Battle of Turin (1706). He repudiated his conversion in 1576 and resumed his leadership of the Huguenots. [1], In the mid eighteenth century, the Bourbon monarchy had a faulty system for finance and taxation. Napoleon exploited the situation and invaded Spain in March 1808. On the night of 26 July 1683, Eugene left Paris and headed east. Dates indicate seniority, not lifetimes. [89] To Vienna it was clear that the Turks intended to attack Hungary and undo the whole Karlowitz settlement of 1699. Many Huguenots gathered in Paris for the wedding on 24 August, but were ambushed and slaughtered by Catholics in the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre. Eugene died in his sleep at his home on 21 April 1736, aged 72. Province of New Brunswick was originally a territory included in the area that made up Nova Scotia. In turn, he gave it to his brother, Joseph, king of Naples on 6 June. Agreeing to reign constitutionally and under the tricolour, he was proclaimed King of the French on 7 August. Louis died on 1 September 1715 ending his seventy-two-year reign, the longest in European history. He tried to flee France in June 1791, but was captured. Maria Theresa died in 1683 and the next year he secretly married the devoutly Catholic Françoise d'Aubigné, Marquise de Maintenon. ", Sweet, Paul R. "Prince Eugene of Savoy: Two New Biographies. There was never again an observer or a malicious diplomat who accused Eugene of homosexual inclinations". Philip V was roused by his influential wife, Elisabeth Farnese, daughter of the Hereditary Prince of Parma, who personally held dynastic claims in the name of her son, Don Charles, to the duchies of Tuscany, Parma and Piacenza. During a daring raid on Cremona on the night of 31 January/1 February 1702 Eugene captured the French commander-in-chief. The French monarchy was abolished on 21 September 1792 and a republic was proclaimed. He married Marie Antoinette of Austria, a daughter of Holy Roman Empress Maria Theresa, in 1770. By early August 1716 the Ottoman Turks, some 200,000 men under the sultan's son-in-law, the Grand Vizier Damat Ali Pasha, were marching from Belgrade towards Eugene's position west of the fortress of Petrovaradin on the north bank of the Danube. His mother, Maria Christina, the second wife of Alfonso XII served as regent. Both Allied commanders were full of praise for each other's performance. Philip V and Elisabeth approached Austria to exploit Charles VI's isolation, and his differences with the Maritime Powers over the Ostend Company. By the beginning of 1730 Eugene, who had remained bellicose throughout the whole period, was again in control of Austrian policy. He fled to the fortress of Gaeta, which was captured by the Piedmontese troops in February 1861; his kingdom was incorporated into the Kingdom of Italy on 17 March 1861, after the fall the fortress of Messina (surrendered on 12 March), although the Neapolitan troops in Civitella del Tronto resisted three days longer. Vendôme now prepared to defend the lines along the river Adige, determined to keep Eugene cooped to the east while the Marquis of La Feuillade threatened Turin. Lucca was incorporated into Tuscany. Alfonso XIII was declared of age in 1902 and he married Victoria Eugénie Julia Ena of Battenberg, the granddaughter of the British queen Victoria, on 31 May 1906. The House of Bourbon, in its surviving branches, is believed to be the oldest royal dynasty of Europe (and the oldest documented European family altogether) that is still existing in the direct male line today: The House of Capet's male ancestors, the Robertians, go back to Robert of Hesbaye (d. 807) as their first secured ancestor and he is believed to be a direct male descendant of Charibert de Haspengau (c. 555–636). By 1696, the deal was done, and Amadeus transferred his troops and his loyalty to the enemy. Of all Eugene's wars this was the one in which he exercised most direct control; it was also a war which, for the most part, Austria fought and won on her own. King Charles IV of Spain had been an ally of France. Napoleon conquered Parma in 1800 and compensated the Bourbon duke with Etruria, a new kingdom he created from the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. Charles, Duke of Parma since 1731, invaded Naples. "[66], The Imperial victory in Italy marked the beginning of Austrian rule in Lombardy, and earned Eugene the Governorship of Milan. Charlotte, Grand Duchess of Luxembourg (ruled 1919-1964) married a cadet of the Parmese line and thus her successors, who have ruled Luxembourg since her abdication in 1964, have also been members of the House of Bourbon. He was a peace-loving monarch who kept Spain out of the Seven Years' War. "[158] This fluidity was key to his battlefield successes in Italy and in his wars against the Turks. [86] Eugene was reluctant to carry on the war, and wrote to the Emperor in June that a bad peace would be better than being 'ruined equally by friend and foe'. Eugene and Hildebrandt also converted an existing structure on his Marchfeld estate into a country seat, the Schlosshof, situated between the Rivers Danube and Morava. Don Carlos found his greatest support in Catalonia and the Basques country because the constitution centralized the provinces thus denying them the autonomy they sought. Seven years later, the young duke became the nominal leader of the Huguenots after the death of his uncle the Prince de Condé in 1569. Ferdinand VII was restored to the throne of Spain in March 1814. He was succeeded by his great-grandson Louis XV. Despite his many marriages he did not have a son, so in 1833 he was influenced by his wife to abolish the Salic Law so that their daughter, Isabella, could become queen depriving his brother, Don Carlos, of the throne. [47] The resulting Battle of Luzzara on 15 August proved inconclusive. It represents the Greco-Anatolian, Italic, Celtic and Germanic branches of the Indo-European speakers. Prince Eugene Francis of Savoy–Carignano[1] (18 October 1663 – 21 April 1736) better known as Prince Eugene was a field marshal in the army of the Holy Roman Empire and of the Austrian Habsburg dynasty during the 17th and 18th centuries. The first cause of these wars came in 1733 when Augustus II, the elector of Saxony and king of Poland died. The coat of arms of this family is: "De gueules à deux léopards d'or, avec couronne de baron",[2] but they took the coat of arms of the previous ones. The distractions of the war against Louis XIV had enabled the Turks to recapture Belgrade in 1690. From 1726 Eugene gradually began to regain his political influence. Her pro-Catholic propaganda in England was one of the contributing factors to the English Civil War. The first Bourbon king of France was Henry IV. They also ruled in Parma from 1731 to 1735, 1748–1802 and 1847–1859. When the War of the Polish Succession began in 1733, Philip and Elisabeth saw another opportunity to advance the claims of their sons and recover at least part of the former possessions of the Spanish crown on the Italian peninsula. Eugene's library, prints and drawings were purchased by the Emperor in 1737 and have since passed into Austrian national collections. From the age of ten, Eugene had been brought up for a career in the church since he was the youngest of his family. [23] Once again, Eugene's courage earned him recognition from his superiors, who granted him the honour of personally conveying the news of victory to the Emperor in Vienna. The origin of those rumours was Elizabeth Charlotte, Duchess of Orléans, the famous Versailles gossipmonger known as "Madame". Both houses were prominent French noble families, well known for their participation in French affairs, even during exile in the French Revolution, until their respective extinctions in 1830 and 1814. He was also gaining wider recognition. It was a transfer that Saint-Simon considered something of a deliverance for the French commander who was "now beginning to feel the unlikelihood of success [in Italy][63] … for Prince Eugene, with the reinforcements[64] that had joined him after the Battle of Calcinato, had entirely changed the outlook in that theatre of the war. [160], Although Frederick the Great had been struck by the muddle of the Austrian army and its poor organisation during the Polish Succession war, he later amended his initial harsh judgements. He was equally adept as an organizer, strategist, and tactician, believing in the primacy of battle and his ability to seize the opportune moment to launch a successful attack. The Prince's fame was secured with his decisive victory against the Ottomans at the Battle of Zenta in 1697, earning him Europe-wide fame. Maria knew that she needed the support of the liberals to oppose Don Carlos so she granted a constitution in 1834. Begun in 1701 the single-story building took twenty years to complete; yet, probably because of the Rákóczi revolt, the Prince seems to have visited it only once—after the siege of Belgrade in 1717. The period from 1576 to 1584 was relatively calm in France, with the Huguenots consolidating control of much of the south with only occasional interference from the royal government. Ferdinand continued to rule from Sicily until 1815. Marie Antoinette and her son, Louis, were held as prisoners. After her death he married Elisabeth Farnese, niece of Francesco Farnese, Duke of Parma, in 1714. Maria, his wife, died in 1768 and Louis himself died on 10 May 1774. [123], Eugene never married and was reported to have said that a woman was a hindrance in a war,[125] and that a soldier should never marry,[121] because of this he was called "Mars without Venus". Reluctantly, Eugene prepared for another campaign, but lacking troops, finance, and supplies his prospects in 1713 were poor. Henry granted the Edict of Nantes on 13 April 1598, establishing Catholicism as an official state religion but also granting the Huguenots a measure of religious tolerance and political freedom short of full equality with the practice of Catholicism. Eugene's success broke the French hold on northern Italy, and the whole Po valley fell under Allied control. Henri lived until 1883, by which time public opinion had come to accept the republic as the "form of government that divides us least." Antoine de Bourbon, his father, was a ninth-generation descendant of King Louis IX of France. [40] His victory at Zenta had turned him into a European hero, and with victory came reward. Such was the scale of their defeat that the Ottoman army mutinied—a revolt which spread to Constantinople. Louis XIV was close to accepting Allied terms, but the conditions demanded by the leading Allied negotiators, Anthonie Heinsius, Charles Townshend, Marlborough, and Eugene—principally that Louis XIV should use his own troops to force Philip V off the Spanish throne—proved unacceptable to the French. In 1514, Charles, Count of Vendôme had his title raised to Duke of Vendôme. Isabella was declared of age in 1843 and she married her cousin Francisco de Asis, the son of her father's brother, on 10 October 1846. [111] Following the Prince's determined lead to resist all pressure, Charles VI sent troops into Italy to prevent the entry of Spanish garrisons into the contested duchies. [1] Their son Louis was made Duke of Bourbon in 1327. "I have warned you that you are dealing with an enterprising young prince," wrote Louis XIV to his commander, "he does not tie himself down to the rules of war. Princes and Dukes of Bourbon from 1327 to 1830. Neither Eugene nor Marlborough had objected to the Allied demands at the time, but neither wanted the war with France to continue, and would have preferred further talks to deal with the Spanish issue. Bienvenue sur la page Facebook de BFMTV ! [50] Austria itself was now facing the direct threat of invasion from across the border in Bavaria where the state's Elector, Maximilian Emanuel, had declared for the Bourbons in August the previous year. "[67] Substantial French reinforcements finally brought an end to the venture, and on 22 August 1707, the Imperial army began its retirement. The Brezhnev Doctrine was a Soviet foreign policy that proclaimed any threat to socialist rule in any state of the Soviet bloc in Central and Eastern Europe was a threat to them all, and therefore justified the intervention of fellow socialist states. He reconverted to Catholicism in 1593—he is said to have remarked, "Paris is well worth a mass"[11]—and was crowned king retroactively to 1589 at the Cathedral of Chartres on 27 February 1594. The War of the Spanish Succession began in 1701 and raged for 12 years. [143] A drawing by Cornelis Troost, kept at the Rijksmuseum, the national museum of the Netherlands, depicts a scene in which Prince Eugene had "the 'available' women parade in review, just as he did his own troops" according to the museum, Troost based his drawing on an anecdote circulating at the time. The Rothschild Family . Eugene had also arrived too late to save Marlborough who, seen by the Tories as the main obstacle to peace, had already been dismissed on charges of embezzlement. Charles was the eldest son of Philip and Elisabeth Farnese. To deal with the financial troubles of France, Louis summoned the Estates General in 1614; this would be the last time that body met until the eve of the French Revolution. Promoted to general of cavalry, he arrived in Turin with his friend the Prince of Commercy; but it proved an inauspicious start. Eugene was never to fully trust his cousin again; although he continued to pay due reverence to the Duke as head of his family, their relationship would forever after remain strained.[31]. In 1617, however, Louis conspired with Charles d'Albert, duc de Luynes to dispense with her influence, having her favorite Concino Concini assassinated on 26 April of that year. Didot, 1825, page 45. Philip also used the War of the Austrian Succession to win more territory in Italy. The Second Spanish Republic was overthrown in the Spanish Civil War, leading to the dictatorship of Francisco Franco. Première chaîne d'info de France Nevertheless, Eugene had no literary pretensions of his own, and was not tempted like Maurice de Saxe or Marshal Villars to write his memoirs or books on the art of war. In January 1712 Eugene arrived in England hoping to divert the government away from its peace policy, but despite the social success the visit was a political failure: Queen Anne and her ministers remained determined to end the war regardless of the Allies. [110], Despite the conclusion of the brief Anglo-Spanish conflict, war between the European powers persisted throughout 1727–28. Though it is not as powerful as it once was and no longer reigns in its native country of France, the House of Bourbon is by no means extinct and has survived to the present-day world, predominantly composed of republics. [121] His remains were carried in a long procession to St. Stephen's Cathedral, where his embalmed body was buried in the Kreuzkapelle. A huge equestrian statue in the centre of Vienna commemorates Eugene's achievements. [97], While Eugene fought the Turks in the east, unresolved issues following the Utrecht/Rastatt settlements led to hostilities between the Emperor and Philip V of Spain in the west. Renewed hostilities against the Ottomans in the Austro-Turkish War consolidated his reputation, with victories at the battles of Petrovaradin (1716), and the decisive encounter at Belgrade (1717). [43] From the beginning, the Emperor had refused to accept the will of Charles II, and he did not wait for England and the Dutch Republic to begin hostilities. Spain and Luxembourg have monarchs of the House of Bourbon. The subsequent capture of Susa could not compensate for the total collapse of the Toulon expedition and with it any hope of an Allied war-winning blow that year. That same year the Treaty of Vervins ended the war with Spain, adjusted the Spanish-French border, and resulted in a belated recognition by Spain of Henry as king of France. Nevertheless, Bourbon's action brought a very negative response from Spain, and for his incompetence Bourbon was soon replaced by Cardinal André-Hercule de Fleury, the young king's tutor, in 1726. Eugene proved an astute and determined negotiator, and gained favourable terms by the Treaty of Rastatt signed on 7 March 1714 and the Treaty of Baden signed on 7 September 1714. After Italian unification the next year, the Bourbon dynasty in Italy was no more. [134] The Duchess wrote about Eugene's antics with lackeys and pages and that he was refused an ecclesiastical benefice due to his "depravity".
