À propos de ce contenu audio

While Napoleon Bonaparte conquered Europe, one ruler quietly endured: Emperor Franz II of Austria. This episode of The Napoleonic Wars traces Franz's long reign through defeat, humiliation, and strategic survival. We explore how the Habsburg monarch lost the Battle of Austerlitz in 1805, saw his daughter Marie Louise married to Napoleon, and suffered the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire. But after Napoleon's fall, Franz emerged as the linchpin of the Congress of Vienna and the Metternich system. We also dive into the little-known story of the Austrian rearguard action at the Battle of Schöngrabern in 1805, where Pyotr Bagration held off the French to save the Russian army. Franz's refusal to capitulate entirely, his reliance on Klemens von Metternich, and his role in the 1813 Battle of Leipzig all shaped the final defeat of Napoleon. This is the story of the emperor who played the long game and won.
