ABSTRACT
Eugene set out from Vienna to take the command of the imperial army on the first of July 1716. He won an important victory over the Turks at Peterwaradin; d and marched from the field of battle against Temeswaer, e which fortress he reduced on the twelfth of October. The ensuing winter was passed by him at Vienna; and here in the following spring he was joined by a crowd of distinguished volunteers, French, German and Italian, and among others by lord / Alton, as I shall henceforth call him, and myself.
