Editor's Take:

Eugene was born in Paris to a noble Savoyard family. Louis XIV refused him a command, so he joined the Austrians. He soon proved a brilliant soldier. He won major battles against both France and the Ottoman Empire. His partnership with Marlborough was one of the great alliances in military history. He also became a wealthy patron of art and books. His Belvedere palace in Vienna now houses a famous art museum.
