About Louis Victor Meriadec de Rohan
Louis Victor Meriadec de Rohan, Prince de Guémené, Duke of Montbazon and Bouillon, was a French aristocrat who fled France at the start of the French Revolution. He fought in the army of Habsburg Austria and the Austrian Empire in the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars. Cut off behind enemy lines in 1805, he led his troops on a remarkable but ultimately unsuccessful trek through the Alps and Italy. In 1809, he commanded a division at the Battle of Aspern-Essling and the Battle of Wagram and was seriously wounded in the latter action. He briefly served as inhaber (proprietor) of an infantry regiment but retired from military service in 1810. He died on the Rohan family's Bohemian estate in 1846.
