Ignaz Count Hardegg

Hardegg, who had now been promoted to colonel and commander of the Schwarzenberg regiment, was unable to participate in the Campaign of 1805 due to illness.

In the following Battle of Wagram he defended his position near Baumersdorf with great perseverance and received the Grand Cross of the Military Order of Maria Theresa for his bravery.

In 1813 he took part in the campaign in Bohemia and the Battle of Dresden and was promoted to Lieutenant Field Marshal in the same year.

In the Battle of Leipzig he led the vanguard of the left wing, but received a serious head injury at Dölitz.

He stormed the city of Moret-sur-Loing, stubbornly defended by General Montbrun, and later fought with the southern army against Marshal Augereau.
