Battle of Castelfranco Veneto

1805 battle during the War of the Third Coalition

In the Battle of Castelfranco Veneto, two divisions of the French Army of Italy confronted an Austrian brigade led by Louis Victor Meriadec de Rohan-Guéméné. The Austrians had made a remarkable march from deep in the Alps to the plains of northern Italy. But, caught between the divisions of Jean Reynier and Laurent Gouvion Saint-Cyr, Rohan surrendered his command after failing to fight his way out.
